Man Busted Driving Drunk from Sussex to Town of Delafield

A Pewaukee man is facing his fourth operating while intoxicated charge after he was pulled over driving from Sussex to the Town of Delafield.

According to the criminal complaint, Robert D. Pierson, 60, was pulled over at 10:41 p.m. Monday in the town after a Waukesha County sheriff’s deputy spotted him driving 63 mph in a 45 mph zone near North Shore Drive and Maple.

Pierson told the deputy he had come from Sussex and had a few drinks before driving. He then tried to get out of the car to perform a field sobriety test, but lost his balance and fell over.

He then told the deputy he couldn’t perform field sobriety tests and asked he just be arrested. Pierson had a blood alcohol level of 0.15 at the time of the incident.

After running further checks, the deputy discovered Pierson had two pending warrants for his arrest for drunk driving. Pierson was previously convicted of OWI in 1996, 1998 and 2001.

If convicted, he faces up to one year in Waukesha County Jail and $2,000 in fines.
