Woman arrested for fifth OWI, had 4-year-old in car this time
This is, at least, woman’s fifth OWI
A La Crosse woman faces prison after her latest drunk driving arrest.
La Crosse police say 47-year-old Sally Kelsall was driving with her 4-year-old daughter in the car, before they arrested her Thursday.
This will be, at least, Kelsall’s fifth OWI arrest.
Police say the woman had trouble standing, was slurring her speech, had bloodshot eyes and couldn’t remember her daughter’s birth date or how to spell her child’s name.
Police also said Kelsall had a half empty bottle of Fleishmann’s vodka in her car.
It was a worker at an apartment complex that tipped off police, after Kelsall apparently came to look at an apartment with her daughter. The worker described a woman who was reeking of booze and having a hard time standing.
