Recalled senator arrested driving under the influence

Recently recalled Former state Sen. Randy Hopper was arrested for drunken driving Sunday in Fond du Lac.

At 5:30 p.m. Sunday, a citizen reported to the Fond du Lac Police Department that a car was being driven ""all over the road"" on U.S. 151. The driver, Hopper, purportedly refused a breathalyzer test before being arrested for operating while intoxicated.

Hopper eventually submitted to a breath test in jail to determine his blood alcohol content, which was above the Wisconsin legal limit of .08.

Hopper was released from jail Monday.

""We arrest hundreds of people a year for [OWI],"" Strand said. ""Hopper will just be one of those.""

Hopper lost his Senate seat to Jessica King, D-Oshkosh, in August.
