Bail is set at $5000 recognizance for a 58-year-old Manitowoc man arrested Wednesday night on his 4th OWI Offense.
An Officer from The Manitowoc Police Department was patrolling the city’s southside when he noticed a vehicle heading south on South 10th Street with no headlights on.
The operator, identified as Joseph A. Skidmore, was pulled over and admitted he had been drinking at a local tavern earlier in the evening.
The officer noticed Skidmore’s speech was slow and slurred and called for backup.
A Field sobriety test was administered, which the Manitowoc man failed, and a breathalyzer test registered a blood alcohol content of point .205, more than two-and-a-half-times above the legal limit to drive in Wisconsin.
Conditions of bail are that Skidmore maintain “absolute sobriety” and he’s not to drive a motor vehicle.
His initial appearance is scheduled for October 10th at 9:30 a.m.
