OWI 1st / PAC .086 – Marathon County (August 2025)

Result: Amended to Reckless Driving

Handled By: Attorney Corey Chirafisi

Summary: The client was charged after crashing into multiple mailboxes and admitting to drinking. Despite a blood-alcohol reading of .086, Attorney Chirafisi identified a crucial flaw: the officer could not establish when the vehicle was last operated, making the test result potentially inadmissible under Wisconsin’s three-hour rule. Before trial, the State agreed to amend the charge to Reckless Driving, avoiding an
OWI conviction.
