Madison woman cited for drunken driving 2 times in 3 hours

MADISON, Wis. (AP) — A Madison 47-year-old woman was arrested twice in three hours for drunken driving.

Yangchen Sopa was first pulled over by police in Verona at 2:15 a.m. Saturday for a defective headlight, according to the Wisconsin State Journal. Authorities say she was arrested for operating while intoxicated and taken to the Verona police station before being released to her husband around 4:30 a.m.

Less than an hour later, the same Verona officer who stopped Sopa the first time stopped her again because police said the vehicle still had a defective headlight and she was seen driving it. She was arrested again for drunken driving.

A phone number for Sopa could not be found. It wasn’t clear if she has a lawyer.
