Milwaukee woman charged after speeding vehicle goes airborne

Saukville police reported clocking a car going 57 mph east on East Green Bay Avenue near Plaza Avenue in a 35-mph zone at about 3 a.m. on Nov. 24.

As officers followed the vehicle, they saw it travel over the median at the Market Street roundabout and become airborne. It continued east in the westbound lanes before coming to a stop, according to police.

When officers arrived at the scene, they saw both front tires on the car were flat. The driver was identified as a 28-year-old Milwaukee woman.

She failed standardized field sobriety tests, and a preliminary breath test registered a blood-alcohol level of 0.15, almost twice the legal limit, according to a police report.  

The report stated that officers found a glass pipe in the woman’s purse, burnt residue suspected to be marijuana and a grinder containing trace amounts of a green leafy substance, also suspected of being  marijuana.

Charges of possession of drug paraphernalia were requested, and the woman was cited for first offense drunken driving and speeding.

Police arrived and could hear a female voice inside the apartment but the woman locked the door and would not open it. The 20-year-old was cited for loud and unnecessary noise.

At about 9:30 p.m. on Nov. 16, police were called to Rally Time Sports Bar for a report of three men inside smoking marijuana.
