On Monday night, a concerning incident unfolded as a suspected drunken driver drove toward Vice President Kamala Harris' motorcade while traveling the wrong way on an interstate in downtown Milwaukee. The 55-year-old Milwaukee man, driving an SUV, was observed heading westbound in the eastbound lanes of Interstate 94 at the Marquette Interchange, directly approaching the motorcade.
Deputies from the Milwaukee County Sheriff’s Office intervened just before 8:30 p.m., stopping the SUV as it neared the motorcade. Suspecting impairment, the deputies conducted field sobriety tests and found an open container of alcohol in the vehicle. Subsequently, the driver was taken into custody on recommended charges of operating while intoxicated and recklessly endangering safety.
