A woman racked up two OVI arrests on the same day this week in Portage County.

Streetsboro police say 48 year-old Dawn Kvasnicka of Ravenna was stopped after a report of an erratic driver on Route 43 at about 9:25 on Tuesday morning. She was charged with OVI after registering point-371 blood alcohol level.

Just over five hours later, police arrested her again on Route 303. The blood alcohol level the second time was point-385.

She wasn't driving again after that...and was taken to the Portage County Jail.
