One person has been arrested and is facing multiple charges after being accused of operating a vehicle while impaired during a recent traffic stop in Wisconsin. Those who stand accused of drunk driving under similar circumstances could choose to prepare for what comes next by focusing on forming a strong defense. However, since the process can be stressful and intimidating, those facing similar charges might need guidance in understanding all their available options.

According to reports, the incident began on a recent Tuesday after authorities say they encountered a vehicle traveling at a high rate of speed on a local interstate. While attempting to catch up to the vehicle, they claim to have witnessed the driver nearly collide with another car. A traffic stop was initiated shortly thereafter, and during the stop, police say the driver appeared to be exhibiting numerous signs of impairment.

It might not be uncommon for couples to experience some level of conflict over the course of a relationship. Following a heated argument, emotions can run high and any feelings of anger or frustration could impact the decisions one makes. Following a recent call about a domestic dispute, a 22-year-old man in Wisconsin was arrested and accused of drunk driving after police say he collided with a building while attempting to evade a traffic stop.

The incident is said to have taken place after authorities responded to reports of a domestic disturbance at around 11 p.m. on a recent Wednesday. After arriving at the location, police say that a woman told them she had been arguing with her partner when he suddenly broke a nearby window before getting in a vehicle and leaving the scene. They also assert that the woman claimed the man had consumed alcohol prior to getting behind the wheel.

While being involved in an accident can be a stressful process, attempting to flee the scene is never advisable. Not only could such an action be viewed as an admission of guilt, but it could also act to increase the severity of the situation. A 38-year-old man was recently arrested and accused of drunk driving after allegedly attempting to evade authorities by jumping into a nearby lake in Wisconsin.

Authorities assert the incident began on a recent Friday night after two security guards claimed to have witnessed a driver run through a red light. After parking their car at a local establishment later on, they assert the same vehicle crashed into their car while attempting to back out of a parking space. While speaking with the driver, they claim to have caught a strong odor of intoxicants emanating from the man and proceeded to call for help.

It might not be uncommon for drivers who are searching for an address or are unfamiliar with an area to exhibit erratic behavior at times. Unfortunately, frequent braking and constant changes in speed may also be driving behaviors that could indicate the possible presence of unlawful behavior. A recent incident involving a driver who was allegedly exhibiting similar types of driving behavior has left a 53-year-old man in Wisconsin accused of drunk driving.

The incident is said to have taken place on a recent Saturday when police claim to have encountered a driver exhibiting erratic behavior. After following the vehicle and allegedly witnessing the driver continue to speed up and slow down while frequently braking and drifting in and out of lanes, officers say they chose to run the vehicle's license plate. They assert that the vehicle's plates did not match the vehicle, a traffic stop was initiated.
