JANESVILLE, Wis. (AP) — Rock County authorities have arrested a Whitewater man on a tentative charge of fourth-offense drunken driving after deputies say they found him asleep in his car with the engine still running.

The sheriff’s office received a call Saturday about 3:20 a.m. of a vehicle that had run off the road. Deputies say they found the 26-year-old sleeping in the back seat.

Deputies say the man’s speech was slurred and he smelled of alcohol. After the man refused field-sobriety tests he was arrested and taken to the Rock County jail, where he was being held on a probationary hold.

Poor dude ….bet he was born in MN and had that drunken gene pool, moves to WI and doubles down on it….presto!
Mucho OWIs – DUIs – DWIs and the poor bugger is only 26.
What’s the record? Does he have a shot the his current rate? Do we cheer the moron on?

Why do they keep changing the letters?, DWI, DUI, OUI, ETC…, Don’t they all mean the same thing???

Depends on the state and what they use. Do try to keep up.

why who cares

Brian

It just depends on how the state words the statute. MN statute reads “driving while impaired” while WI statute is “operating while impaired”

So what? It’s Wisconsin. Give him a placed to sleep it off and give him a drink in the morning and send him on his way. Like I said “It’s Wisconsin.”

I mean dude for sure…..in MN we don’t even require you to sleep it off but say “on your way and be careful now”
I was born here, lived in WI for 10 years and back here for better than 30.
I’ll wager on any given day – night – anyhour we have more drunks on the roads than WI.
I kind of chuckle at all the cracks taken at WI as I think it makes us feel better about the problem here. It’s called diversion.
26 years now of sobriety and damn proud of it.
