Sober driver arrested for OWI when deputy crashes into her car: Found on https://www.facebook.com/RTBA.Co?fref=nf
WITI reported the woman was seriously injured in the accident and wasn’t able to take a breath test or field sobriety test. So Milwaukee County Deputy Joseph Quiles arrested her for drunk driving anyway.
Tanya Weyker said those charges were held over her head for nearly a year after blood tests proved she was sober. That didn’t stop the county from sending threatening letters saying it would take legal action if Weyker didn’t pay for the damages
Officials said he pulled out into the street and t-boned a passing car, sending it spinning into a tree.
In his official report, Deputy Joseph Quiles made a note that Weyker’s speech was slurred, she had a light odor of alcohol, and her eyes were red and glassy, then arrested Weyker and initially accused her of five charges, including drunk driving causing injury.
Deputy Joseph Quiles report stated he stopped at the sign and then pulled out into the street.
However, a surveillance camera showed his car rolling through the stop sign without stopping.

Lawyers filed a federal civil rights lawsuit Tuesday on behalf of a Franklin woman who was severely injured and falsely accused of drunken driving after an on-duty Milwaukee County sheriff's deputy crashed into her and lied about causing the accident.
The federal lawsuit contends that Deputy Joseph Quiles conspired with fellow deputies and supervisors to cover up his actions and shift the blame to the woman, Tanya Weyker.
Also named in the lawsuit are deputies Byron Terry and Scott Griffin, who arrested Weyker; their supervisor, Sgt. Matthew Paradise, and Milwaukee County.
Milwaukee police officer James Johnson wrote an accident report on Feb. 21, 2013, and did not issue any tickets in the crash because of the conflicting statements from those involved. At the time, the officer did not have access to the video evidence, and in his report, he noted that Griffin had arrested Weyker.
On March 5, 2013, blood results from the state lab showed Weyker had no alcohol or drugs in her system. The sheriff's office then initiated an internal affairs investigation on March 8, 2013.
On Dec. 5 — some nine months later — Milwaukee County Assistant District Attorney Ron Dague reviewed the case and closed it without charging Weyker. He noted that Quiles' "squad failed to stop/yield to an auto in the active traffic lane." When Quiles was interviewed Dec. 17 by internal affairs at the sheriff's office, he admitted his failure to stop. Quiles told investigators that when he wrote the original report, he believed he had come to a complete stop. Asked if he believed he was at fault for the accident, Quiles replied, "That's correct." Quiles is facing a nine-day suspension related to the incident, a punishment Erickson called "grotesque" in its insufficiency.
Before the 2013 crash, Quiles had been investigated for off-duty road rage and was suspended for watching a movie in his squad car instead of monitoring traffic at a fatal accident scene, records show.
Seven years ago, Clarke sought to fire Quiles for falsifying records — something Quiles had previously been ordered not to do.
