2 Kentucky Men Arrested For DC and 1 For OWI!



On Wednesday, June 13, 2012 at 2 AM, Officers on patrol downtown observed a man on a motorcycle do a burn out in front of Vans Bar.  Officers attempted to initiate a traffic stop, but the 22 year old Kentucky Man refused to stop. Officers followed the man until he stopped behind Butches Bar. Once behind Butches Bar, Officers noticed a handgun stuffed in the mans waistband, Officers immediately removed the handgun and determined the man had a concealed carry permit for it. While talking with the man a group of individuals showed up and began to taunt Officers. Officers determined the individuals were relatives of the man stopped by Officers.

Officers conducted Field Sobriety Tests (FST's) on the 22 year old Kentucky Man, which he failed. Officers arrested the man for Operating While Intoxicated (OWI) and transported him to the Door County Medical Center. While at the Door County Medical Center (DCMC) the men that were previously taunting Police showed up and began to cause a disturbance in the lobby area of the hospital. Additional Officers were summoned to the DCMC lobby area to remove the men from the hospital. A 34 year old and 20 year old from Kentucky were arrested for Disorderly Conduct after refusing to leave the hospital.  All three men were transported to the Door County Jail. The 22 year old man from Kentucky who was arrested for OWI is currently incarcerated at the Door County Jail on different charges stemming from another incident that occured a few days later in the county.
