Woman Drives Drunk to Pick Up Boyfriend After OWI Arrest

After watching her boyfriend get arrested for drunken driving, a 29-year-old Shorewood woman decided to test her luck by drunk driving to the police station to pick him up.

According to Whitefish Bay police reports, her boyfriend – a 25-year-old Milwaukee man – was cited for drunken driving and speeding in the 4700 block of Wilson Drive at 9:31 p.m. March 24. He was originally pulled over because he was driving 40 mph in the 25 mph zone. His blood alcohol content measured 0.13.

His girlfriend, a 29-year-old Shorewood woman, was a passenger in the car. She later drove to the police station to pick him up at 11:58 p.m., but she was also found to be drunk with a blood alcohol content of 0.10.

The woman requested a second test, so she was transported to St. Mary's Hospital for a blood draw. Results from the blood test are not yet available.

Three drunk drivers arrested last week

In addition to the two drunk drivers arrested on March 24, Whitefish Bay police also arrested a 52-year-old Milwaukee man for OWI at 10:30 p.m. Friday in the 500 block of Hampton Road. The man's blood alcohol content measured 0.14, and it was his second drunken driving offense.
