Reports of three more arrests for operating while intoxicated last weekend have surfaced in the Wauwatosa police blotter, on top of several already reported. Two of the new reports were from a deployment last Saturday night of the High-Visibility Enforcement OWI Task Force, a grant-funded program to add officers on shifts where there is a high probability of drunken driving. The third, though – presented here first – involved an impaired driver careering recklessly through the Village in mid-afternoon. At 3:35 p.m. Sunday, a 45-year-old Milwaukee man was arrested on suspicion of driving while intoxicated, as a first offense, after he was stopped on Wauwatosa Avenue at Lincoln Place for blatantly running two red lights and speeding through …

As we head into the long Thanksgiving weekend, here's another sobering reminder that there will be drivers on the streets who shouldn't be – not just those who imbibe a bit too much on a holiday occasion but also multiple-offense drunken drivers. Police officers of the Southeast Wisconsin High-Visibilty Enforcement OWI Task Force will be on the streets starting Wednesday night and patrolling through the weekend, looking for subjects like this. According to police reports: At 1:20 a.m. Sunday, a 28-year-old Milwaukee man was arrested on suspicion of drunken driving, third offense, after he was stopped for having a suspended registration in the 500 block of Glenview Avenue. The patrol officer said that as the man pulled over, he struck the…

An unseasonably warm Sunday evening that brought out strollers and diners in the Village was interrupted by a jaw-dropping, heart-stopping crash that only by luck caused no injuries. Police interviewed more than a dozen witnesses who saw a drugged driver speeding and swerving down Wauwatosa Avenue, through the Village and across busy State Street before plowing into parked cars and a concrete wall. At 8:08 p.m. March 18, a 45-year-old Milwaukee man was arrested for OWI-drugs, his third offense, after he was captured fleeing from the scene of the crash in the parking lot at The Chancery, 7615 W. State St. According to police reports: It began with a 911 call from a man traveling south on Wauwatosa Avenue who said he was following a driver …
