Driver seeking medical help arrested for drunken driving

Aug. 6, 2012

A 52-year-old Milwaukee man was arrested for third offense drunken driving after he pulled up next to a police squad and asked the officer for medical assistance shortly after 3:30 a.m. July 31.

According to the police report:

A Menomonee Falls police officer was conducting radar checks in a marked squad in the parking lot of Gordie Boucher, N88 W14300 Main St., Menomonee Falls, when a man driving a white Chrysler turned into the lot and parked parallel to the squad. The driver first told the officer he was confused, and later stated he was diabetic.

The officer immediately had the suspect medically evaluated on the scene by paramedics. After EMS reported his evaluation was normal, the suspect admitted to drinking a pint of vodka.

The suspect failed field sobriety testing; his preliminary blood alcohol content was 0.28. He was arrested for drunken driving-third offense and was conveyed to the Waukesha County Sheriff's Office on a 12-hour hold.
