Another Sheboygan County classic involving drinking...

Adell man faces 4th OWI after allegedly driving drunk to pick up wife at jail

A 52-year-old rural Adell man was charged Tuesday with his fourth offense of drunken driving after allegedly driving drunk to the Sheboygan County Jail to pick up his wife, who had also been arrested earlier in the day on suspicion of driving while intoxicated.

Steven D. Casarez, of 643 Highway BB, was charged with operating a motor vehicle while intoxicated, his fourth offense in five years, and faces up to three years in prison and three years probation.

According to the complaint, Casarez on Sunday drove to the jail to pick up his wife, but was turned away after corrections officers gave him a preliminary Breathalyzer test and found that he had a blood alcohol level of 0.13.

Corrections officers saw Casarez walking to his car and called police, who later pulled Casarez over for driving erratically.

Casarez told police he had been out drinking at multiple bars in the Cedar Grove area and then drove to Sheboygan to pick up his wife.
