Driver charged with felony OWI

June 13, 2012 | 2 comments

Greg M. Masanz, 39, Menasha, was charged with a third drunken driving offense.

Because he had two children in his vehicle at the time of his arrest, Masanz faces a felony convicton.

On May 13, State Trooper Kendi Linjer was running stationary radar on U.S. Highway 10 near County X in Weyauwega when she clocked an eastbound vehicle traveling at 81 mph. She made a traffic stop after the vehicle pulled over into a parking lot off River Road.

According to the criminal complaint, Masanz had two girls, ages 18 months and 10 years old, in the vehicle with him and his wife. He reportedly had a 0.15 blood-alcohol level.

Masanz was previously convicted of drunken driving offenses in February 1998 and December 2008.

  2. It used to be a criminal misdemeanor when children under 16 were in the car. The somewhat new changes to law enhances all violations to a felony when children under 16 are in the car. I guess it's kind of a cover all now. So for 4th w/in 5 yrs of the third and 5th and subsequent offenses occur, the suspect will be facing multiple felonies.
