Wrong Way Drunk Driver Going 100 MPH in Greenfield Faces Prison Time

GREENFIELD - Police say a man that drove 100 miles per hour the wrong way down 27th Street could face prison time for his actions.

According to his criminal complaint, Jorge Perez-Robles, 28, Milwaukee, was observed driving a white Nissan Altima northbound in the southbound lane of 27th Street just after 3 a.m. on June 25.

Police attempted to catch up to Perez-Robles' vehicle, exceeding 100 miles per hour to do so, the complaint said.

Police say the vehicle continued to travel in the southbound lanes, finally coming to a stop at South 27th Street and Loomis Road.

According to the complaint, it appeared that the vehicle came to stop due to a blown out right passenger side tire.

While Greenfield police were on scene with the vehicle, off duty Milwaukee Police Officer stopped and informed officers that he was traveling southbound on 27th Street at Layton Avenue when he observed the vehicle heading towards him in his lane.

The off-duty officers reportedly used a snap steer to avoid a head on collision with the wrong way Nissan, the complaint said.

After the odor of alcohol was detected on Perez-Robles, police say he was asked to provide a chemical sample of his breath and he refused to do so.

According to the complaint, he was issued an OWI first offense that will be handled in the City of Greenfield Municipal court. Police also noted that the defendant did not have a valid driver’s license.
