Brookfield police arrested a man Aug. 6 after his daughter reported the prior day that he had violated an order of protection she held against him.
Around 10:17 p.m. on Aug. 5, the woman went to the Brookfield Police Department to tell police her father had broken her order of protection against him, which was enacted in April. The woman told police she had received text messages from her father in a group chat and showed screenshots confirming they had been sent in May, making them violations of the protection order.
Later that night, an officer called the woman’s father at the number he texted her from and confirmed it belonged to him. The officer told the man he would need to report to the police station to discuss the allegations against him, but the man said he could not because he was at work as a truck driver. The man agreed to come to the station the next evening instead.
The man arrived at Brookfield PD around 8:40 p.m. on Aug. 6; within 10 minutes, he was placed into custody, police said. After police read the man his Miranda rights, he agreed to speak without his lawyer present. The man admitted he knew about his daughter’s protection order against him, which specifies that he cannot contact her by any means. The man said he knew he had texted his daughter as a member of the group chat.
Police charged the man with violating the order of protection.
Drunk driver arrested after driving without a seatbelt
Riverside police arrested a man Aug. 2 for driving drunk in Lyons after seeing him drive without a seatbelt.
Around 6:48 p.m., an officer on patrol saw the man without a seatbelt driving his car west on Ogden Avenue from Miller Road in Riverside. After pulling the man over near Gage Avenue in Lyons, the officer asked the man for his driver’s license, which he provided, and proof of insurance, though the man gave an expired insurance card.
While conversing, the officer smelled alcohol, saw the man had bloodshot, glassy eyes and observed an open White Claw alcoholic seltzer in the car’s center console, which the man said he had been drinking.
The man agreed to take sobriety field testing, during which the officer noticed he struggled with his balance and started before the instructions were complete. The man also agreed to take a preliminary breath test, but the results were insufficient, police said.
The officer placed the man under arrest and transported him to the police station for processing. At the station, after being read his Miranda rights, the man admitted he had drunk three beers before driving. He provided another breath sample which showed .122 blood alcohol content.
The man was booked on his DUI charge before police released him on pretrial conditions with a Sept. 6 court date.
