A Delaware man was arrested for alleged drunk driving on Saturday – after racking up eight previous DUI convictions.

Cheswold resident Christopher Harris, 44, was charged with a DUI and numerous traffic offenses Saturday afternoon. He was stopped by Delaware State Police at around 4:16 p.m. after the officer saw Harris’ vehicle swerve on the road.

Harris’ silver Dodge Ram was crossing lanes multiple times without using turn signals, according to authorities.
