Repeat DUI Offender Arrested Wearing Joke Breathalyzer Shirt

Repeat DUI offender Bryan Wendler was arrested for his sixth DUI on January 19, 2013 in Franzen, Wisconsin. According to police, Wendler was arrested around 1 a.m. after being found passed out behind the wheel of his car with a six pack of beer sitting in the passenger seat beside him. When an officer with the Sheriff’s Department approached the vehicle, in the middle of the road, it was still running and the music was apparently still playing loudly. The officer proceeded to wake Wendler, who was still asleep in spite of the blaring music and noticed immediately that the repeat DUI offender seemed “dazed and confused”. The officer then asked Wendler to exit the vehicle and perform a series of field sobriety tests, which he did not pass.

After failing the sobriety tests, the officer requested that Wendler submit a breathalyzer test. That test revealed Wendler’s blood alcohol content (BAC) level to be .19%, more than double the legal limit of .08%. Ironically, Wendler happened to be wearing a joke t-shirt that reads, “Been Drinking? Free Breathalyzer Test – Blow Here”, with an arrow pointing down torward his crotch. The officer then placed Wendler under arrest and transported him to Saint Claire’s Hospital to have his blood drawn for further BAC tests. Wendler, a repeat DUI offender, will be facing his sixth DUI charge as well as a probation violation and driving while license revoked. Wendler’s preliminary hearing is scheduled for January 30.
