Two people rescued from river after a drunken boating mishap

A Sparta woman was ticketed for drunken boating, after ending up in the Mississippi River near the Dresbach dam last weekend.

Megan Freeman and an Onalaska man were pulled from the water by a friend after their boat capsized Saturday night.

Freeman told Winona County deputies that she missed a boat landing, and when she tried to correct the error, the boat overturned.

Neither person was wearing a life jacket in the water. La Crescent Police found that Freeman had a blood alcohol level of .08.
