A 60-year-old Sturgeon Bay man is behind bars in Marinette County after being arrested for a fifth operating while intoxicated offense.
According to the Wisconsin State Patrol, James Husbeck was pulled over at about 8:45 a.m. on State Highway 180 after a concerned motorist reported him crossing lanes and stopping traffic. When state troopers approached the vehicle, authorities say Husbeck appeared impaired and handed them drug paraphernalia.
After failing field sobriety tests, Husbeck was arrested and taken to the Marinette County Jail. He is facing charges of possession of THC and possession of drug paraphernalia, second offense, in addition to the OWI charge.
The arrest comes as law enforcement agencies across the state prepare for their annual “Drive Sober or Get Pulled Over” campaign to close out the year.
