SHEBOYGAN, Wis. - A Washington woman arrested for drunken driving three times in three days while vacationing in Wisconsin has been sentenced to a month in jail.
Jo A. Trilling, 60, of Spokane, Wash., was arrested first at 2 p.m. March 11, 2008. A Sheboygan County Sheriff's Department deputy saw her try to drive out of a ditch near the Kohler-Andrae State Park entrance.
She wore only one shoe and had a blood-alcohol level of 0.21, authorities said. The legal driving limit is .08.
Twenty-four hours later, Trilling was arrested after her car got stuck in snow in a park campground that was closed for the winter. Trilling told an officer she had had four or six cups of wine.
"I am still finishing up the box of wine in my car from yesterday," authorities reported she told the officer.
Authorities found a box of Black Fox wine in the car.
Trilling spent 12 hours in jail. She was released and headed west to Cottage Grove in Dane County. She was arrested there a short time later after someone reported her driving "all over the road," according to a police report.
An officer found a partial bottle of wine in her car. She had a blood alcohol-level of 0.16.
Court records released Wednesday show Trilling was sentenced last week to 30 days in jail and fined more than $3,000.
