SEATTLE, WASH (AP) – A 59-year-old Renton man has been arrested for what authorities say is his 11th arrest for driving under the influence.

The State Patrol said in a news release that two troopers arrested Dean Hermsen early Friday after he stopped his vehicle behind them on an exit ramp along I-5.

The troopers were investigating a report of smoke in the area at the time.

A review of his criminal history showed Hermsen has had 10 previous DUIs, including two at the felony level.

Troopers say Hermsen also had a requirement to use an ignition interlock device which was not in the vehicle he had been driving.
