Rice Lake Man Faces 17th DWI

A northwestern Wisconsin man is looking at his 17th drunk driving charge.

Police in Rice Lake arrested 71-year-old Mark Johnson Friday night after they say he was swerving while driving, and almost hit another car. Officers say Johnson told them he drank two 16-ounce beers while he was driving home. They say his blood alcohol level was nearly twice the legal limit. Court records show that Johnson has 16 prior ‘suspensions, revocations, and other convictions.’
