In some cases, it could take little more than the words of another party to launch an investigation into allegations of unlawful behavior. Being the subject of such an investigation could prove intimidating enough as is, and the situation may only increase in severity should criminal charges be filed. A call from a witness that prompted an incident leading to a traffic stop in Wisconsin has reportedly left a 56-year-old man facing felony drunk driving charges.

Law enforcement agents assert the incident began when a witness called in with a complaint about a possible drunk driver. Upon locating the vehicle in question, authorities claim to have initiated a traffic stop after allegedly catching the driver perform an improper stop. While speaking with the driver, officers claim that he informed them he was operating without a valid driver's license and that he had consumed an unspecified amount of alcohol prior to getting behind the wheel of the car.

Nearly three weeks later, police say they pulled the same man over and arrested him for drunk driving after spotting him operating a vehicle in the wrong lane of traffic.
