State police have charged a West Falls man with felony driving while intoxicated— his third DWI arrest this decade—and accused him of driving with a blood-alcohol level more than three times the legal limit.

Dennis H. Burrows, 53, was pulled over for a traffic stop on Route 240 in the Town of Colden on Sunday, after troopers said they spotted his vehicle changing lanes unsafely.

After state police said he recorded a 0.25 percent blood-alcohol level, they charged him with aggravated DWI and unsafe lane change.

The DWI charge was upgraded to a felony due to prior DWI convictions in 2004 and 2001 in Springville and the Town of Aurora, according to police records.
