Flat Tire Dooms Drunken Driver

A drunken driver didn’t exactly keep a low profile Sunday. 

A 26-year-old Slinger man was caught driving northbound on Appleton Avenue around 2:42 a.m. Feb. 24, but his rear driver side tire was flat. The man was pulled over near Appleton Avenue and Fleet Avenue. The man appeared to be intoxicated and failed field sobriety tests.

The man had a blood-alcohol level of 0.16. He was cited for a second offense OWI and released to a sober adult.

Also in the reports:

• A 30-year-old Menomonee Falls woman was arrested for assault after she punched her fiancé in the face after coming home. The woman was intoxicated, and left her fiancé with scratches and a bloody lip. She claimed she fought back after her fiancé grabbed her, but there were no marks to substantiate her claim.
• At 3:05 a.m. Feb. 23, police responded to a vehicle that was found in a field near Shady Lane and River Crest Drive. The driver, a 31-year-old Germantown woman, showed signs of intoxication at the scene. Due to the weather, sobriety tests were conducted at the Menomonee Falls police station. She failed them, and had a blood-alcohol level of 0.17. She was cited and released to a sober adult.
