Mequon Woman Cited For Drunk Driving
She said she was planning to stop and sleep at a hotel, but not before cops busted her on Dean Road.
A night of celebration and drinks later devolved into a sobering drunk driving arrest for one Mequon woman passing through Fox Point last week.
The woman caught the attention of a police officer when she came to a complete stop at a flashing yellow light at Port Washington Road and Dean Road at 1:41 a.m. on April 24. The officer ran the woman's driver's license and saw that her license had been suspended.
When she was pulled over, she said she had drank three or four glasses of wine at Saz's earlier in the evening, and that she knew she was driving oddly. She said she was tired and planned to sleep at a hotel instead of driving back to her home in Mequon.
