Don't Drink And Drive

Which was apparently why he tried to run. Mayfair Road police chase, crash; man arrested for OWI. Operating While Intoxicated.

He could have stayed sober, and had a drink (or whatever he had) when at home later. He could have called Uber.

Officers first tried to stop the driver after his car was driving recklessly through the Mayfair Mall parking lot. The driver then pulled out onto Mayfair Road and fled south, weaving in and out of rush hour traffic before causing a four-vehicle crash at Watertown Plank Road.

I assume that is felony resisting on top of everything else. And he crashed his car. Does insurance cover this kind of thing? I doubt it. Sadly felony stupidity is not something he can be charged with.

This is the Police Chase Video: Police chase dashcam video show The Wauwatosa Police Department recent pursuit of a reckless driver. The video is 2 and a half minutes long. He didn't get very far.

I did a quick bit of searching on the subject: OWI in Wisconsin.

The average cost of an OWI in Wisconsin is $5,000. This includes the cost of the fine, the cost of the lawyer, and the cost of the court fees.

Motorists convicted of an OWI in Wisconsin will also have to pay for a mandatory alcohol assessment, costing up to $200. They may also be required to complete a driver's education course, costing up to $500. If their blood alcohol content (BAC) was above 0.15%, they might be required to install an ignition interlock device which can cost up to $1,000. In addition, offending motorists may also be required to attend a victim impact panel, costing up to $100. They will also have to pay a reinstatement fee of $200 when they get their license back.

My guess is that the price he will pay for OWI on top of everything else he did, which was all stupid, will dwarf that amount.
