Northport man cited for DWLS again

A 59 year-old Northport man was cited for driving with a suspended license for the second time in three days.  Leelanau Dispatch Center received a report from a motorist at 12:41 pm Tuesday.  The driver said a vehicle was swerving all over the road on S. West Bay Shore Drive near Dumas Road in Suttons Bay Township.

Leelanau County deputies located the suspect vehicle in the village of Suttons Bay and observed the erratic driving.  The vehicle was stopped and it was learned that the driver's privileges were suspended because of an Operating While Intoxicated conviction. 

The man was arrested for driving suspended Sunday after he drove his car into a snowbank south of Suttons Bay on S. West Bay Shore Drive.  He will now appear on two driving while license suspended charges Friday.
