A 51-year-old Beloit man is arrested for drunk driving for the fifth time after being stopped on the Interstate Tuesday.

The Wisconsin State Patrol says a trooper conducted a traffic stop on a vehicle driven by Thomas James Sand just before 9:30 Tuesday night on south bound I-39/90 after observing an unsafe lane deviation.

Sand displayed signs of impairment and after failing several field sobriety tests he was taken into custody on suspicion of fifth offense operating while intoxicated.
