Muskego Man Caught With Marijuana, Heroin in His Van While Driving Intoxicated

A 26-year-old Muskego man is facing charges after he was caught driving under the influence with marijuana and heroin inside his van.

David M. Klejsmit was charged in Waukesha County Circuit Court Monday with one count of possession of narcotic drugs, one count of possession of THC, the active ingredient in marijuana, one count of possession of drug paraphernalia and one count of second offense operating while intoxicated. If convicted, he faces up to 4 ½ years in prison and $12,600 in fines.

According to the criminal complaint:

On Sept. 28, a driver called police after Klejsmit was driving erratically near McShane Drive and Durham Drive and then pulled off on Independence Drive. A Muskego police officer later spotted his van parked next to a residence on the road and Klejsmit was laying back in the driver’s seat with his eyes closed.

The officer startled Klejsmit awake who was difficult to understand, but said he just came home to sleep. First he told the officer his girlfriend had driven the van, but later admitted he did.

The officer found marijuana inside Klejsmit’s  pocket, hypodermic needles in the van and a ball of substance later determined to be heroin.

Klejsmit is scheduled to make his initial appearance in court Feb. 14.
