Brookfield police arrested a man on August 6 after his daughter reported the previous day that he had violated a protective order she had obtained against him.
On August 5 at approximately 10:17 p.m., the woman went to the Brookfield Police Department to tell police that her father had violated the protective order she had placed against him in April. The woman told police she had received text messages from her father in a group chat and showed screenshots confirming that they had been sent in May, making them violations of the protective order.
Later that evening, an officer called the woman’s father using the number he had texted her from and confirmed that the number belonged to him. The officer told the man he needed to report to the police station to discuss the allegations against him, but the man said he could not because he worked as a truck driver. The man agreed to come to the station the next evening instead.
The man arrived at Brookfield police around 8:40 p.m. on Aug. 6. Within 10 minutes, he was taken into custody, police said. After police read the man his Miranda rights, he agreed to speak without his attorney. The man admitted he knew about his daughter’s protective order against him, which states he is not allowed to contact her under any circumstances. The man said he knew he had texted his daughter as a member of the group chat.
The police filed charges against the man for violating a protection order.
Drunk driver arrested after driving without a seatbelt
Riverside police arrested a man for drunken driving in Lyons on August 2 after they saw him driving without a seatbelt.
At approximately 6:48 p.m., a patrol officer saw the man without a seatbelt as he drove his car west on Ogden Avenue from Miller Road in Riverside. After stopping the man near Gage Avenue in Lyons, the officer asked him for his driver’s license, which he showed him, and proof of insurance, but the man presented an expired insurance card.
During the conversation, the officer noticed the smell of alcohol, saw that the man had bloodshot, glassy eyes, and discovered an open bottle of White Claw brand alcoholic mineral water in the center console of the car, which the man said he had drunk.
The man agreed to take a field sobriety test, during which the officer noticed he was having balance issues and began before instructions were finished. The man also agreed to take a preliminary breath test, but the results were unsatisfactory, police said.
The officer arrested the man and took him to the police station for processing. At the station, after being read his Miranda rights, the man admitted to drinking three beers before driving. He provided another breath sample, which showed a blood alcohol content of 0.122.
The man was arrested for drunk driving before police released him on remand and set a court date of September 6.
