Madison, WI: On Tuesday, June 30, 2009, at approximately 6:10 p.m. a Dane County Sheriff’s K9 Deputy was struck by an intoxicated driver near the intersection of County Highway N and County Highway B in the Town of Pleasant Springs.
At the time of the crash the Deputy was traveling north on County Highway N. Erika S. Gartley, age 43, of Oregon, WI, was traveling south on County Highway N when she crossed over the centerline into the Deputy’s lane.

The Deputy was transported to a local hospital for minor injuries. He was treated and released. The Deputy was wearing his seatbelt at the time of the crash. His K9 partner does not appear to have sustained any injuries at this time.

yeah, that's what I thought. You people are big talkers but you really know absolutely nothing. It's far easier to whine and complain and accuse than to actually learn something and know the facts.

Ok then, provide a link to the statute which shows that OWI penalties are different if you hit a regular car vs hitting a squad car. Or the statute that shows that drunk officers get off easier than regular folks. I'll be looking forward to seeing that.
