Governor's Son Arrested
Mon 02/06/2006 -
27 News has learned Governor Jim Doyle's son, Augustus "Gus" Doyle, was arrested on a charge of first offense drunken driving during the early morning hours of Feb. 5.
Fitchburg Police Lieutenant Chad Brecklin told 27 News, a passing motorist called authorities with concerns over a man in another car. Brecklin told 27 News that man was Doyle, 30, and that the car, a 1998 Buick Century was on Fish Hatchery Road at County Highway M.
A source with knowledge of this investigation told 27 News, Doyle refused to submit to a test for blood alcohol when it was requested by responding officers. Brecklin refused comment on the testing.
Brecklin told 27 News Doyle was driving without a valid license and the car involved was not registered to the younger Doyle.
Brecklin told 27 News Doyle was released to a responsible party at 6:25 A.M.
Doyle is Governor Doyle's oldest son and a former Madison schools worker. Doyle was also a member of Madison West High School's 1992 State Champion basketball team.
More coverage of this story is upcoming during 27 News at 6 and 10.
. Wonder if the State Patrol supervisors their union...the Sheriff's Assoc. and Police Chiefs Assoc. will defend him as they did Peg 'the keg' Lautenschlager...
Unless it's someone whose strings we can pull later or who is in a position to do us some favors on the back side...
The kid...is now a liability...and will actually have to be put threw the justice system...just to show that the Gov. is 'a fair man'...
I await his 'whats good for the goose is good for the gander' statement any day now...
And his makeup man person handy with the appropriate application of an artificial tear...
imo
Wow. How can one person get into so much trouble with an automobile?
The kid has that "don't you know who I am" thing going.
I e-mailed a few links to my afternoon Talk Radio ConservaBabe at WIBA 1310 AM.
