West Bend woman with kids in the car cited for OWI

16-26753 OWI 1^st with minors in vehicle:

Bartender from a Town of Polk bar contacted the Washington County Sheriff on Saturday, July 23 at 11:21 p.m. reporting a hysterical female in the lot with three children in her vehicle. 

The complainant indicated the driver had obviously been drinking and was lost.  Two deputies arrived and identified her as a 25-year-old West Bend woman.  Deputies also discovered she had bruised knees and was covered in cake frosting. 

The driver was very evasive about what happened and deputies initially thought she was involved in some type of domestic altercation.  Deputies were able to find a sober party at relative’s home who responded to the scene and took custody of the 3 minor children.

Authorities also learned there was a party at the house and part of the festivities involved a “cake battle.”

The woman was not involved in any type of domestic dispute.  She was arrested for first offense OWI and had a blood alcohol level of .17.
