Man charged with 7th OWI
Waukesha - A 42-year-old City of Oconomowoc man was charged Monday in Waukesha County Circuit Court with seventh-offense drunken driving after he made an improper turn early Sunday.
According to the criminal complaint, at about 1:40 a.m. a City of Oconomowoc officer saw a vehicle, driven by Darrick B. Junck of 1150 W. Wisconsin Ave., turn left at Collins and Main streets even though there is a sign stating no left turn. The officer stopped the vehicle and noticed the odor of intoxicants.
Junck admitted to the officer he had several beers at a bar and said he should not have been driving, the complaint said. Junck said he would park his car and walk his female passenger home, the complaint said.
Junck admitted he had been arrested six times before for drunken driving and was asked to take a field sobriety test, which he failed, the complaint said. A preliminary breath test showed an alcohol concentration of 0.15. A level of 0.08 is considered evidence of intoxication in adult drivers in Wisconsin. People with three or more drunken driving convictions are prohibited from driving with a level of 0.02 or higher.
Junck was convicted of drunken driving in September 1995, April 1997, March 1998, August 2000, November 20005 and in May 2008, when he was sentenced in Jefferson County to three years in prison and three years of extended supervision.
Junck is being held in Waukesha County Jail on $25,000 cash bail and is scheduled to appear in court Feb. 17 for a preliminary hearing.
