Third-Time OWI Offender Arrested By Fox Point Police

A 53-year-old Glendale man was driving around at 1 a.m. with just his running lights on, and that caught the attention of .

On Sunday, in the 8000 block of North Port Washington Road, police pulled this man over because he was driving without all the appropriate lights on. But when the officer put his emergency lights on, the driver did not pull over, only slowed. When the sirens were activated, he finally made his way to the side of the road and stopped.

The officer went up to speak to the man, and noticed his speech was slurred and slow, and his eyes were glassy. When asked for his license, the man explained that it was revoked. When asked if he’d been drinking, he did not even reply.

The man completed the field sobriety test, but not with flying colors, so he was arrested and brought to the police station. When officers ran his name, it turned out that this would be his third apprehension for operating while under the influence.

This repeat offender refused the breathalyzer at the police station, and was taken to the hospital for a blood draw.

He was issued citations for operating while under the influence, operating after revocation, and a warning for operating without head lamps.
