A St. Croix County Sheriff's Deputy was arrested for drunk driving in Outagamie County.

According to Grand Chute Police Chief, Jim Lewis, Deputy Mike Winberg was arrested Sunday night in an unmarked squad car, just after 10:30 p.m.

An officer saw him driving slowly pulling into a parking lot. His preliminary breath test was .20, or more than twice the legal limit.

St. Croix County Sheriff, Dennis Hillstead says Winberg will undergo a review and a decision will be made on discipline by Friday.
Winberg is now on paid adminstrative leave.

what! no drunk driver school, heavy fines, loss of driving privilags, jail time like any one else who gets caught, and we pay him too! sounds like wisconsin is not only the state with the most drunk drivers, but its also the state of the good ole boys club! arnt we all proud! And we worry soooo much about those cigeretts, never mind all those accident victims who are either dead or crippled for life. Maybe he should have given himself a ticket! Because he would sure give you one! Pathetic.

I agree. He shouldn't lose his job, but he should be punished. Also, he shouldn't get paid leave. Any other person who gets pulled over for drinking and driving don't take off work and just suddenly get paid leave!

Blue shield goes down. Glad they arrested him like the genral public. but he should not lose his job but severaly demoted in rank if this is his first offense.

I don't know why it should be a paid leave.
