7-time drunk driving suspect arrested in Monroe County
A pickup truck swerving between lanes late at night has led to a new drunk-driving arrest for a Sparta man.
The state patrol says Michael Wittmershaus is facing his 7th charge of OWI.
His most recent Wisconsin conviction for driving drunk dates back to 2008.
The 61-year-old Wittmershaus was stopped by the State Patrol on Saturday night, along Highway 27 near Leon, and was found to have open intoxicants in the truck.
The trooper witnessed a pickup truck going into the wrong lane of the highway.
