A 45-year-old man was charged and arrested Saturday for driving under the influence for the seventh time in the past 15 years, according to the Ohio State Highway Patrol. 

Troopers say Tremell De Wayne Foster was pulled over for a speeding violation in Allen Township after being caught driving on I-75 at 83 mph. 

While conducting the traffic stop, troopers determined Foster had been drinking. After taking sobriety tests, the 45-year-old was arrested and charged with a felony for the seventh time, according to police records.

Authorities say after checking Foster's records, they found he had been charged with OVI six times in the past 15 years and that his driver's license had been suspended since 2003.

"Impaired driving is something troopers take seriously," Findlay Post commander Lt. Matthew Crow said. "It is not worth risking your life or others by getting behind the wheel impaired." 

Last year, troopers from the Findlay Post removed 121 impaired drivers from our roadways.

The public is encouraged to call #667 to report reckless or impaired driving.
