SHEBOYGAN, WI (WHBL) - A Sheboygan man was fortunate to have suffered only injuries when his vehicle ended up in a corn field north of Waldo back in June, but he now will have to face the punishment for driving drunk.
52 year old Jeffrey Houseye was sentenced Tuesday for his third OWI offense.
The accident occurred at the north intersection of highways 57 and 28 in the Town of Lyndon.
The criminal complaint states a Sheboygan County Sheriff’s deputy noticed a vehicle was in the field, and found Houseye trapped inside injured. It was determined the vehicle crossed the four lanes of Highway 57 before flying into the field about 50 yards from the road.
As the accident was investigated, Houseye was found to have a blood alcohol level more than double the legal limit.
Judge Timothy Van Akkeren ordered Houseye to serve 85 days in jail, revoked his license for 30 months, and was ordered to use an ignition interlock for 30 months.
