The officer pursued the driver on foot, catching him. The driver smelled of intoxicants and was not cooperative with police. The driver was arrested for OWI-1st offense. The driver was also issued citations for failure to stop at a stop sign, operating without a valid drivers license and resisting a police officer.
During the investigation of the above incident, that driver began yelling at police about another vehicle in the vicinity. Believing an altercation may have taken place, police stopped the second vehicle, which was driven a 59 yr old male from Sturgeon Bay. It was determined the two drivers shared a residence, but the altercation was not between the two drivers, but another occupant of the residence.
However, police found the driver of the second vehicle had been drinking alcohol as well, and he showed signs of impairment. This driver was arrested for OWI-4th offense. He was taken to the Door County Jail and required to remain in jail until an appearance before the judge due to the repeat offense.
