Man Asleep Behind The Wheel Gets 7th OWI

Yes, in Wisconsin if you are intoxicated, sitting in the driver's seat, and have the keys in the ignition, your hand, or possibly nearby, you could be charged with an OWI.
On May 16, 2021, West Salem police were alerted to a man asleep at the wheel with the engine running. When approached, the officer noticed a faint odor of intoxicants. The man was charged with felony seventh-offense drunk driving and seventh-offense operating with a prohibited blood-alcohol content.

[@husbandsonfollowerleader9133]

They still run those tests because they're gathering evidence that can be used in court. Don't misunderstand, drunk driving is fucked up, and people who do it should get arrested. What I'm saying is that they use these tests to make sure the charge sticks. It's their job to get you to do these tests as a part of an investigation, but you're under no obligation to help them with that investigation. Just like you have no obligation to help a person that works at a store stock the shelves. It's always better to be polite and compliment with cops, but they'll always specifically ask you if you're WILLING to do these tests (help them do their job) and you can definitely just ask for a lawyer and shut the f up if you know you're gonna fail.

If the state allows him to keep getting a license after all these OWIs, then they are the problem. Instead of reinstating his license and risking lives, mandate rehab and counseling. When you’ve been where this guy is, you recognize the pain and struggle. I’m hoping he found help, and that someone finally told him his fly was down. 😬

[@michiman6757]

Does mandatory rehab actually help though? I was under the impression that you couldn't help someone unless they wanted to get help or hit the rock btotom.

[@savannanaturegal]

Honestly though at the end of the video it says this was his first owi in 6 years. And he genuinely seemed to have just went out to his car to wait for his girlfriend and started the car probably because it was 2 am in Wisconsin even in the summer it ain’t warm at night. Judging by the hoodie it was probably spring or fall so even colder. And he was on the edge of the parking lot not even in the road. Im in recovery myself and never got an owi but at 6 years without one that tells me he’s obviously learned his lesson, also by the fact that he said he was in his car at 11 pm and it was 2 am when the cops got there, I genuinely hope he gets help but on the flip side this arrest is bullshit. To me any law that says of the vehicle is running is kinda dumb to be an owi for one, but also he was in a parking lot. That’s not public property he wasn’t on a road way either. He should and I genuinely hope he does get those charges reduced down or gets out of them completely because 6 years is a very long time to go between and the amount of work that had to take to get his license back and the fact that he wasn’t actually driving tells me a lot here about him. He’s obviously gotten his life a lot more together than it was and this could and probably will ruin all of that work he most likely had to put in

[@shanebiggie9532]

How was he risking lives? He was asleep in his truck. So just cuz it was running he's risking lives? Smh

congrats on rehab. Sometimes, when it gets THAT bad, the best option you can do to help yourself is take a long break from LIFE. Seek out others to LIVE WITH who are going through the same and help your self, all community resources. They will feed you good food, form a plan of discipline for you, and yes, sober, healthy activities to enjoy. Hell, the place I went, you will get cable tv and vending machines too, haha. But it is a great thing to do, you will have an entire TEAM to help you. If you don't have money, there ARE still places out there. Insurance is a big problem, but there ARE still places one can find. If it is difficult, talk with church leaders, even if you are not religious, if you truly want help, many of them and the congregations will gladly help you out, even doctors, you don't have to accept pills, other community groups. There is ALWAYS help out there, they can hook you up. and take your pick of struggling addicts to share your own story with. WE are out here, and I wish you all the best man.

I have never been done for drink driving but one time when I was at the pub I knew I drunk too much to safely ride home so I just unlocked my motorcycle steering lock and walked it home. When I was about 3 houses from home the police stopped me and asked what I was doing. I said I was too drunk to ride so I walked my bike home instead (it was only about 4 kms or 2.5 miles from the pub to home). They checked my bike and asked where the keys were. I said they are in my pocket. They told me that just saved me from a drink driving charge, if I had left them in the ignition that would have been enough for a drink driving charge. They then asked where I live and when I told them they helped me push the bike home and made sure it was secure before telling me to make sure I don't ride for at least 24 hours. Nice cops 🙂

Two things can be true at once: 1) He's a danger to himself and others, shows no regard for public safety and thus deserves to be punished the the fullest extent of the law. 2) was honest- a commendable quality. I hope he's able to overcome his problems. I've met people like this before. They aren't necessarily evil, just too deep into alcoholism. They think "I can't stop drinking, but I do need to get to places" and so they drink and drive. While it's easy to say "there are no excuses" and lump him in with others, understanding the reasoning that drives (pun intended) these crimes is vital. Helps create programs that will be best tailored to help them, when they leave prison and hopefully prevent them from returning.

[@KevBotM]

I can't wholly disagree with you but he wasn't driving, he was sleeping in a parking lot. Your point still stands but it doesn't seem right that it's the same charge for sleeping off a bender in your truck with the engine running (perhaps because it's freezing outside, I hear it gets cold in Wisconsin sometimes) and driving merrily along down the highway endangering everyone who happens to be sharing the road, too drunk to know or care about the danger you're putting them in. I might also offer an alternative statement to your last: After your 3rd DUI (or 2nd or 1st) you should be banned from DRINKING for life. Maybe you get issued a modified ID specifically prohibiting alcohol purchase, perhaps you are ordered to wear an alcohol monitoring bracelet (yes it does exist). Order the offender to regularly take disulfiram, a medication that makes alcohol consumption immediately unpleasant and is very affordable in the US with goodrx. Hell regularly drug test the offender to make sure they've been taking it. Ignition interlocks are already common but can be defeated. But a prohibition on possessing or consuming alcohol might be of far more useful and perhaps easier to enforce than permanently revoking one's license. Especially in a region where driving, legally or otherwise, is a requirement to function.

I have never understood why Police in the USA have to first prove that you are drunk before they test your breath to see if you are drunk. In the UK and in the Netherlands, Police can stop any car anywhere at any time without any "probable cause" ("Reasonable grounds to suspect") and ask you to take a breath test because you are driving a car. Nobody who is sober has a problem with that because it obviously reduces the chance that you will get killed by a drunk driver. Only drunk people have a problem with it, and get the same penalty as they would gave got if they blew over the limit. I believe it's the same in many countries including Australia and New Zealand.

[@satanscheeks]

@@harpharpharpharp1971 because if someone gets arrested for doing something wrong there has to be proof. if they did do something wrong, they’re stripped of their rights and humanity, which is super difficult to recover from. so getting evidence and probable cause is essential in our right to a fair and equal trial

[@5calambres]

@@harpharpharpharp1971 the field test is to visually proove that the suspect was impaired. What if the breath test is just slightly above the limit and the defendant says he had just one beer and was totally safe to drive so the judge waves the case? Thats why they have to collect evidence that this was not the case. Just a advice from me: no one ever was free to walk away after passing a field test. If you get asked for doing the test you are already going to jail. Refuse to make the test. In some states your licence will automatically be rewoked but if you win the case you will have it back + you can sue them for false arrest. That oc just happens if you are stone sober and the breath test comes back clear. If you are drunk, dont do the field test and just accept that you will have a dui charge (breath test at the police station or blood sample is not voluntary). But dont give them free evidence.

[@Markyroson]

@@harpharpharpharp1971 that’s also the case in Canada now. Changed to that when weed was legalized…in the same legislation.

BUT if you take it, the cop can just say “he failed” no matter how it goes. It’s subjective. It’s their word against yours. They took my license for a year and I got a year probation and fines. Because a cop pulled me over (I turned into a construction zone at night on the way to a hospitalat which my dad was dying), said he smelled alcohol which was not true, I proved I wasn’t drunk, I got arrested anyway.

L Cops were right there, they didn’t believe the story and were laughing and joking because I was such a mess. However, I will admit that when I was in my early/mid 20s I definitely made the stupid decision to drive home from the bar when I should not have. Luckily nothing bad happened (I didn’t mess anyone else’s life up by my selfish actions) and also didn’t get in trouble. So I figured this was karma for making terribly stupid decisions in the past without consequences. Not proud of any of this, nor do I think cops are “out to arrest innocent people.” There is a lot of money to be made off of DUIs tho, which is likely why the burden of proof is so low. “He looked unstable standing on one foot while counting and balancing with his arms while nervous.

Refusal in most states will get you more trouble. He knows this, and wants to comply to avoid the extra penalties, but is embarrassed about how it will look. Sadly, I know from experience.

Praying for you Jason 🙏🙏🙏 time to get help and sober. I have 30 years 7 months sober. Went to rehab for 30 days then committed to 6 months at the Freedom House sober living home in Long Beach Ca and ended up staying for 8.5 months and had a blast there. Would have stayed longer but had a tile and marble job to do in Hawaii.

I got two DUIs in a ten-year period. The second one was in 2014. Now I drive with a breathalyzer. It's a miracle I actually got one, as far as I'm concerned - and it helps immensely during the occasional trying moment. After being incarcerated twice, almost losing my home with my very sober boyfriend and our beloved dogs. It's a miracle he took me back. I think videos such as this one are so important for reminding me how irrational I get when I drink, because I see a common thread with all the people in these videos of people being arrested for DUI/OWI - denial. The whole world can tell when I'm drunk, but I "feel" fine! Alcohol almost killed me. Thanks for these videos.

[@wombat5252]

Good for you! First offenses are usually almost nothing but second offense in ANY state really becomes harsh. Those breathalyzers are really annoying and expensive but it's fair punishment. (I know from experience. I got my 2nd 2 years ago and when I can finally drive, I am required to have a breathalyzer). I'm not looking forward to it but you're right, watching these videos helps remind me. I lost a LOT in my life and became homeless over it. It's not worth it. I got away with it too many times and just thought I'd never get caught. Was in complete denial. I'm doing better now myself, just can't wait to drive again!

[@miyannaable]

@@wombat5252 I can SO relate to what you are saying! There was one time where that breathalyzer was the only thing standing between me and a drink (never just one, of course). For five minutes, that device gave me time to think about everything I was putting on the line. I ended up lifting some weights instead. Bless!!

[@wombat5252]

@@miyannaable It'll be good for me when I can finally drive, but over $100 a month + 30 day $30 fees are not going to be fun. Also if I even blow 0.01 into it, the RMV of my state can revoke my license for another 5-10 years. It's nothing to F around with. But yeah, it was WAY to easy to drink and drive. At first I thought it was fun...thank god I never hit anyone. It's embarassing having to ask for rides and walk everywhere. But yeah have a nice day!

[@talyahr3302]

I would imagine this guy would need a breathalyzer to drive his car at this point too right?? It'd be crazy if he doesn't have one yet.

[@555dking]

Same here. I got one at 21 and another at 30. I checked into rehab voluntarily after the second one and have been sober since. Still dealing with the consequences but I deserved it. Those officers saved my life. I knew I had a problem but it was a nightmare to try and control. Watching these videos is hard for me but it helps me to realize why I’m staying sober. There is no feeling more liberating than waking up the next day feeling fine and knowing I don’t have to go through this again. Sorry for the rant and best of luck to you!

[@williamlee5705]

As a recovering alcoholic with 12 years sober (by God's grace!) I can speak from experience. I had a DWI in New Jersey in 2008. I blew a .13 and felt "normal". It was a taillight stop and thankfully I did not cause harm to anyone. Here is the thing. It took years of HEAVY drinking for me to feel normal at a .13. I passed ALL the tests the officer told me EXCEPT the preliminary breath test, Even the police were shocked! The point is, I drove many times in that condition thinking I was fine. I only got caught once. To get caught 7 times means he probably drove intoxicated hundreds of times in between. Yes I was also depressed. Lost both parents in a year, 30 year marriage ended, lost a 100,000.00 a year job, and other life circumstances. BUT there is NO excuse good enough for risking other peoples lives because I was depressed. I finally stopped blaming the world for MY misfortune. I went to rehab. I learned about myself and that ALL my problems were created by ME and alcohol. That's the funny part. People (me) drank to escape my emotional pain, and in the process just created more. It is a vicious cycle. I'm sure this guy is not a bad person. BUT that said, HE needs to be the one to rebuild his life. Nobody can do that for him. It's time he walk into an AA meeting and put his hand up and ASK for help. That's what I did. And if this drunk can do it, so can this man. I pray he does. I hope he sticks around until the MIRACLE happens.

[@vmi4172]

I've drove drunk thousands of times in my life. I have a 99.7% success rate. I use to pass every test they give me. Drink 15 drinks and walk a straight line like a breeze. It's that gah damn breathalyzer. Always refuse it. I learned the hard way. I was a very good drunk driver though. Usually the DDD of my group(designated drunk driver). Not so much anymore as Im in my 30's and can't handle the alcohol like I use too so I try and watch myself. Just got my 3rd dui, 9 years apart. They are no fun. A nightmare where Im from. This guy should count his blessings. If he got 7 dui's in NY he would be doing 20 years! Hell, I did 6 months for my second one!

[@rookierider2096]

What made you start drinking if you had a 100k job? Just curious

[@williamlee5705]

@@rookierider2096 I'm glad you asked. Having that job (director of engineering at a microbiological lab) caused great stress. Also it kept me from my family and a marriage that was foundering due to my almost continual abscence, This led to my depression. The alcohol was the symptom of a deeper emotional problem. The money was just the catalyst to the anxiety. It also afforded me any means by which to satisfy my thirst. My family depended on me. Money does NOT buy happiness. It makes some things in life easier sure, BUT it guarantes nothing. I now make half that. I have what I need. Not all that I WANT. Thank you for reading my story. I pray that ANYONE who feels trapped by alcohol (or drugs) finds a way out. Life is tough, but worth it. It was an escape from myself. When I learned to deal with life first, I realized that NOTHING is that important. Feeling internal peace is great. Be well my friend,
