St. Croix County deputy passed out in squad likely had at least 15 shots of vodka, report says
A St. Croix County, Wis., sheriff’s deputy likely consumed at least 15 shots of vodka before getting behind the wheel of his squad, where he was found passed out with the vehicle’s transmission in drive and his foot on the brake.
Those findings were detailed in an internal investigation report on former deputy Ryan Fowler, who resigned his position Dec. 1, as part of a separation agreement with St. Croix County.
The documents, released by the county to RiverTown Multimedia through a data request, chronicle an Oct. 12 incident while Fowler was on assignment with a four-person attachment sent to North Dakota to assist with Dakota Access Pipeline protesters.
Fowler was arrested by Bismarck police and later charged in Burleigh County, N.D., with one misdemeanor count of having physical control of a vehicle while intoxicated. He has pleaded not guilty; a jury trial is set for March 3.
