Booze, Adderall Found in Drunk Driver's Car, Police Say

A drunk driver could face state charges for allegedly driving drunk down Hampton Road last week with a cup full of booze and Adderall in her purse.

The female driver was arrested at 2:41 a.m. May 7 after a Whitefish Bay police officer noticed her vehicle swerving all over Hampton Road near Marlborough Drive. The vehicle also had a broken tail light covered with tape, according to a police report. 

Police say the driver was on her cell phone, and did not put the phone away when the officer approached the vehicle. In a search of the vehicle, officers found three Adderall pills in her purse. On the passenger seat – hidden under a shopping bag of clothes – police found a travel coffee mug filled with rum and Coke. Her blood alcohol content measured 0.12, according to a police report.

Whitefish Bay police cited the woman with her second drunken driving offense. The first offense occurred in October 2012. Police are also recommending criminal charges for possession of a controlled substance and two counts of bail jumping for violating the conditions of two previous convictions in Ozaukee County Circuit Court.

She was also cited for defective tail lights, operating after suspension, operating without insurance and possession of open intoxicants.
