Milwaukee law enforcement officers took a 40-year-old man into custody after he was allegedly drinking and driving on Oct. 29 and driving at speeds of up to 109 m.p.h. The arrest was the 1,000th repeat offender for an OWI offense since 2010. Authorities reported that an officer saw a car headed the wrong way on a local street; however, the driver wouldn’t respond to a traffic stop. The pursuit covered both city streets and the highway and began a few minutes before 3 a.m. It culminated on Highway 41 when the subject hit yellow barrels and a median. His vehicle flew up into the air and crashed into a law enforcement vehicle, hitting the window and hurting the officer.

News sources say that a home in Wisconsin has been so badly damaged by an alleged drunk driver that it is unlikely that anyone will be able to live there again for some time. On Oct.17, a man with six previous intoxicated driving offenses drove a truck into the front of a home in New Berlin. The home was occupied at the time of the accident; however, no one appears to have been injured in the incident.

A Milwaukee man could be facing more than 50 years in jail if he is convicted of charges relating to his alleged involvement in three armed robberies. Media sources indicate that the separate incidents occurred on Aug. 4, Aug. 6 and Aug. 12 and that the 29-year-old man may have been working with an accomplice. According to news sources, he is facing one count of felony murder, one count of armed robbery and one count of fraudulent use of a credit card. Charges are pending for his 26-year-old accomplice.
