When deputies arrived, they said the truck was out of the ditch, but showed evidence it had been stuck there.
Rock City Police then found a forklift nearby with a man asleep at the wheel. Police said that when the operator, Schmuck, awoke, they determined he had used the forklift to try and free the truck from the ditch.
Schmuck was arrested and charged with his fifth DUI offense, a felony charge, according to law enforcement.
I'm against name shaming, it's juvenile. But if you don't think I'm going to report this drunk's last name, you're crazy
And to prove that Wisconsin is ready at the drop of a hat to be late to do something useful to prevent DUIs:
During this additional enforcement, the participating agencies will have more officers on patrol to discourage people from driving while impaired. There will be zero tolerance for driving under the influence, open intoxicants, seatbelt violations and improper use of child safety restraints.
The goal of this high-visibility enforcement is to encourage drivers to make an alternative plan so they don’t drive while drunk or high.
The Rock County Impaired Driving Enforcement Task Force includes the Rock County Sheriff’s Department and the Janesville, Town of Beloit, City of Beloit, Town of Turtle, Clinton and Orfordville police departments.

ReplyDeleteLovely. It would have been borderline criminal not to report that name.
