Sheboygan woman allegedly passed out drunk in McDonald's drive-thru

Another special one from Sheboygan. Thanks to the Sheboygan Press and my Dad pointing this one out...

Sheboygan woman allegedly passed out drunk in McDonald's drive-thru

A 27-year-old Sheboygan woman passed out drunk in her car while trying to place an order in a McDonald’s drive-thru earlier this month, according to court documents filed today.

Police officers summoned by employees found Stacy L. Erickson slumped over and snoring inside her 1991 Ford Escort, according to a criminal complaint. The incident occurred about 3:40 a.m. July 30 at the McDonald’s at 2425 S. Business Drive.

Officers’ initial attempts to rouse Erickson were unsuccessful, but she woke up after they turned off the car and tried again.

Erickson had to grab the car to steady herself as she got out, and she failed field sobriety tests. She registered a blood-alcohol level of 0.15 at the scene and 0.09 later at the Sheboygan Police Department.

Erickson, of 2223 Terrace View Drive, Apt. 2A, is charged with misdemeanor third-offense drunken driving and faces up to a year in jail, if convicted. She is scheduled to make an initial court appearance Aug. 30.

SHEBOYGAN, Wis. — A 79-year-old Sheboygan woman who couldn't find any help when a rattlesnake showed up on her patio said it was no big deal taking matters into her own hands. Margaret Street said she used an ice chopper to kill the snake with three cuts behind the head.

She made some calls hoping to find someone who could help her. She said when that failed she killed the snake because she was afraid it could hurt someone at a nearby elementary school.

Dale Katsma, with the state Department of Natural Resources, said the massasauga rattlesnake is endangered in Wisconsin, but photos suggest this was a prairie rattlesnake, which isn't endangered or native to the area.

He told The Sheboygan Press the snake may have been aboard a train bringing materials to a local salvage yard.
