Alcohol & Decision Making Often Causes Problems


Drinking too much alcohol continues to lead to poor decision making.

On January 27 at 10:21pm, police stopped a vehicle for traveling 47 mph on Egg Harbor Rd near 12th Ave, which is posted as a 25 mph zone.  The driver, a 23 year old male from Fish Creek, had a strong odor of intoxicants.  Field sobriety tests revealed signs of impairment and the driver was arrested for OWI-1st offense and taken to jail.  A citation for speeding was  issued as well.  The two underage passengers (20 yr old and 19 yr old) in the vehicle were found to have been consuming alcohol, and they were issued citations for underage alcohol consumption.

On January 27 at 11:40pm, police were sent to the Red Room for a person who broke a business window and fled the scene.  The suspect was located on the west side of the city running home by another officer.  An investigation revealed the suspect had a fresh cut on his hand and was the person responsible for the damage.  The suspect, a 23 year old male from Sturgeon Bay, was intoxicated and arrested for disorderly conduct and criminal damage to property.  Restitution for the broken window will be requested through the court system.
