Four Drunk Drivers Caught in the Last Week

Whitefish Bay police found a marijuana pipe and a fake ID when they pulled over an intoxicated 18-year-old Milwaukee woman for drunken driving early Monday morning.

The officer pulled the woman over at 2:16 a.m. Monday in the 5400 block of Idlewild Avenue after noticing her driving eastbound down Silver Spring Drive, failing to yield a red light at Marlborough Drive, then squealing her tires as she took a right turn onto Marlborough Drive. The officer then clocked her at 35 mph on the 25 mph street.

When the officer approached the vehicle, the woman had a "mouthful of tortilla chips and was shoving more into her mouth." After she failed field sobriety tests, the officer noticed a marijuana pipe with marijuana residue that was still warm. The woman denied smoking that night and said the pipe hadn't been used in years.

Her blood alcohol levels measured 0.22, more than double the legal limit. She said she drank a couple beers while at a friend's house in the Bayside area and was headed to the area of Oakland Avenue and Park Place in Milwaukee.

She was cited for operating while intoxicated, possessing drug paraphernalia and possession of fake identification.
