A Crandon man picked up charges after driving under the influence yesterday. It was just after 12 on Thursday when a Trooper stopped a vehicle for speeding on HWY 35 near East Engine Road. Upon initial contact with the driver, the Trooper detected an odor of marijuana coming from the vehicle and observed two young children in the vehicle.
The driver was identified as 33 year old Chadwick J. Christensen, from Crandon. A subsequent investigation revealed the driver was operating a motor vehicle while under the influence of a restricted controlled substance. Christensen was arrested and charged with OWI-2nd with minor passengers, Possession of THC, and Possession of Drug Paraphernalia. The children were released to a responsible adult.
