A Wisconsin man was arrested on suspicion of his seventh OWI offense following a traffic stop in Sauk County.

Sauk County dispatchers said they received a report of someone driving erratically Sunday night near Highway 33 near the border of Sauk and Juneau County line.

The report indicted a 2014 Buick Regal also almost hit another vehicle, according to a release by the Sauk County Sheriff’s Office.
