Law enforcement in the Twin Cities say they took a dangerous repeat drunk driver off the roads on New Year’s Eve.

The Hennepin County Sheriff’s Office says 69-year-old Michael Bowser was arrested in Brooklyn Center after he reportedly fled from a traffic stop, crashed his vehicle, and took off on foot. Bowser, who had 21 prior DWI convictions and was driving without a license, was ultimately located and arrested for first-degree DWI as well as for fleeing police.

Bowser is being held in custody on $60,000 bail.
