MIDWEST: Wisconsin Court Praises Drunk Concert Goer
MADISON, Wis. (AP) - Travis Peterson knew he was too drunk to drive home after an outdoor concert three years ago at Alpine Valley south of Milwaukee. So he fell asleep in his car, only to be awoken by a state trooper.
Peterson said even though he told the officer he was drunk and just sleeping it off, the trooper ordered him to leave because the lot was being cleared. Once out of the parking lot, Peterson was arrested for drunken driving. A state appeals court on Wednesday commended Peterson for trying to do the right thing by sleeping it off, and said the trial court was wrong not to let him argue that police had entrapped him.
