ASHWAUBENON, WI (WTAQ) – An 18-year-old man was arrested for drunk driving twice in less than 3 hours early Sunday.
Ashwaubenon Public Safety responded around 4:30 a.m. to a crash in the 2100 Block of S. Broadway where a vehicle had struck a light pole.
“When the officers arrived they encountered our 18-year-old suspect who admitted to drinking at a grad party,” said Ashwaubenon Public Safety Captain Jody Crocker.
Preston Bierhals was cited with an OWI 1st Offense.
Than around 7 a.m., Bierhals was arrested for OWI again, this time in a different vehicle.
Crocker says this situation was a recipe for disaster.
“This person is still intoxicated and drove into an area where we had heavy pedestrian traffic and other vehicular traffic at the entrance to a triathlon or an exit of a triathlon,” said Crocker.
Bierhals was cited for an OWI 2nd offense and was taken to the Brown County Jail.
On Monday Bierhals appeared in court Monday afternoon.
Two counts of bail jumping charges were filed from an unrelated incident.
