JANESVILLE, WI (WSAU-WAOW) — A Marshfield man has been accused of his 8th OWI after a complaint of an obnoxious driver in a Janesville parking lot this week.
WAOW TV reports that the incident started with a call about someone squealing their tires and driving recklessly in the parking lot of a Quality Inn. When officers arrived, the vehicle fled the lot.
They were able to catch up to the driver later in the day. The driver admitted to drinking before getting behind the wheel, and officers also noticed several signs of impairment.
Officers learned that the driver had a revoked license and seven prior OWI convictions. Additionally, he was still on probation from a previous conviction.
The results of a blood test are pending. The man’s name was not released.
