A Wasilla man with three recent drunken driving convictions was arrested overnight Friday after a trooper encountered him with a vehicle in a ditch on McMillan Drive in Wasilla.
At 10:15 p.m. Friday, Alaska State Troopers found Michael Lanz, 28, next to a white 1998 Ford Mustang. Troopers said he was driving drunk and drove the car into the ditch. He wouldn't provide a breath sample, troopers said in an online dispatch. Lanz was charged with felony DUI, failure to submit to a chemical test and driving with a revoked license.
Lanz previously had his driver's license revoked after a felony drunken driving conviction, troopers said. He had three driving under the influence convictions in the last seven years, according to troopers.
Lanz also was convicted in 2014 of a misdemeanor drug charge, court records show.
He was being held Saturday at Mat-Su Pretrial Facility.
