According to the Dodge County sheriff's report on the arrest, Lautenschlager refused to take a test to determine her blood-alcohol level.

She was driving a state-owned car when she was arrested.

Refusing an alcohol test is an automatic DUI conviction in Wisconsin. Any bets on how the Democratic weasels get her excused from that charge?

"Refusing an alcohol test is an automatic DUI conviction in Wisconsin."

In most states, your license automatically gets revoked for six months or a year. Lawyers recommend that drivers do that if they're guilty so they still have a chance of getting acquitted. Mo Vaughn got his license revoked for a year because he refused a breathalizer test, but the jury found him not guilty of drunk driving.

It is my understanding that the first DUI is a traffic matter punishable by losing ones license for 3-9 months and a fine that cannot exceed $800. I don't think it goes criminal until after the first . . . . but I've been known to be wrong.
