Drunk Driver from Glendale Registers .32 After Christmas Eve Crash

WHITEFISH BAY, WI — A 50-year-old Glendale woman was arrested after a Christmas Eve auto accident revealed that she was intoxicated at four times the legal limit.

According to Whitefish Bay police, the driver failed to stop at a stop sign at the intersection of N. Hollywood Ave. and E. Hampton Rd. just after 6 p.m. on Dec. 24, causing damage to another vehicle.

She was taken into custody on suspicion of OWI-1st and transported back to the station. An intoximeter test revealed the woman's blood alcohol concentration was 0.32 - a dangerously high level of intoxication and four times that of Wisconsin's legal threshhold for drunk driving.
