Man Saved By 8-Year-Old Boy's 911 Call Gets 1 Year Prison: Police

WAUKESHA, WI — The man accused of passing out from a drug overdose in Waukesha, only to be rescued by his 8-year-old son's 911 call will face one year in prison and two years probation per a plea agreement reached in court.
34-year-old Christopher Koeberl pleaded guilty to operating while intoxicated and neglecting a child. Two more counts of child neglect and a charge for operating after license revocation were dismissed but read into the court record.

According to police reports, in late January 2017, Koeberl's 8-year-old son called 911 after he found his father slumped over the steering wheel of his car. At the time, the boy told police that his dad is possibly dead and inside a silver car. The boy told police he did not know his exact location, but with the help of authorities, they were able to determine the precise location of the phone call.

After about five minutes, the boy was joined on the phone by an adult who was with him. The adult said that the boy's father was slumped over the wheel in the parking lot of a silver Chevy Cruze in a parking lot on the 200 block of Maple Ave.

The adult stated that the boy's father still had a pulse, and had a lighter and energy drink resting on his lap.
Three squads were dispatched to the area, and within several minutes had the adult out of the vehicle - he was reported "somewhat alert" and breathing. The report indicated that the incident was related to opioids, and investigators later determined that Koeberl had snorted three Xanax pills prior to getting behind the wheel, a criminal complaint stated.
