At 11:30 p.m. Dec. 21, police were called to the Saukville McDonald’s after an employee reported Poull had just come through the drive-thru window and smelled heavily of alcohol and was now driving on Highway 33. Police caught up to Poull’s SUV and saw him drift over the fog line on South Riverside Drive, then correct himself by steering over the center line of the road.

He was then pulled over and told the officer he drank four "whiskey sweets" before driving. Poull failed a field sobriety test and had a blood alcohol level of 0.22, which is nearly three times the legal limit to drive in Wisconsin.
