An East Toledo man charged with his fifth drunken-driving offense appeared yesterday in Perrysburg Municipal Court.

Norman Kutz, 54, is charged with felony drunken driving and the misdemeanor charges of driving left of center and failure to reinstate his driver's license.

The felony case was sent to Wood County Common Pleas Court; a hearing on the misdemeanor charges were set for April 26 in Municipal Court. He has been released on bond, court officials said.

Ohio Highway Patrol troopers stopped him Friday night when they saw him driving left of center several times in Lake Township. After he was arrested, he refused to take a Breathalyzer test.
