Michael D. Dayton, 51, Waupaca, was charged with a felony drunken driving offense.
Shortly after 5 p.m. Saturday, Sept. 10, Waupaca Police Officer Lisa Benitez was dispatched to East Side Mobil Express after a witness reported that the driver of a yellow vehicle had thrown a beer can into the trash and drove through the roped-off area of the parking lot.
