A Minnesota man was arrested for OWI.
It was a little after 1 Tuesday morning when a WI State Trooper stopped a vehicle for speeding on Interstate 94 east of Menomonie. Upon contact with the vehicle, the trooper noticed two children ages six and nine and two adult females. There was an odor of marijuana emitting from the vehicle.
The driver was identified as Eric Wilson and showed signs of impairment. A subsequent investigation, including standardized field sobriety testing, showed that Wilson was operating a motor vehicle while under the influence of a restricted controlled substance.
Wilson was arrested and is being charged with Operating with a Restricted Controlled Substance-3rd Offense, Speeding, Operating without a License, and Possession of THC. The minor children remained with the two other adult occupants of the vehicle.
