Dane County deputies responding to Silk Exotic Gentlemen's Club got more than they bargained for when responding to a minor hit-and-run crash in the parking lot early Sunday, according to a news release.
Deputies responded to the crash just before 2 a.m. at the club on Highway 14 in the Town of Middleton.
The driver believed to be at fault had attempted to flee the scene before dpeuties arrived but got stuck after attempting to exit the parking lot in an area not designated for traffic. The driver then fled on foot.
Arriving deputies were able to persuade the driver, persuaded Kristian Olson, 24, of Belleville to return to the scene. After failing standardized field sobriety testing, Olson was placed under arrest for a first offense of drunken driving.
During the transport to the Dane County Jail, Olson began intentionally banging his head on the interior squad cage. At the time, Olson was handcuffed and seat-belted into his seat.
The deputy pulled over and summoned additional law enforcement and EMS personnel from Middleton to assist in restraining Olson. Olson was eventually transported by Middleton EMS to the University of Wisconsin Hospital Emergency Room, where he remained combative with law enforcement and medical staff.
After being treated for minor injuries, Olson was booked into the Dane County Jail more than 12 hours after the incident began.

I tried to look this up. Apparently in some States if you are "in control" of the vehicle, like you're sitting in the driver's seat with the keys in your hand, you can be convicted of drunk driving. In others, California for example, you have to actually move the car.
From what I can tell, the fact that he was trying to drive the car onto a public road while drunk is enough for a conviction. And the fact that it's a publicly accessible lot also counts for something.
I have been to the referenced one, and from the looks of the town of Middleton I doubt there is much to do there besides get drunk! Come to think of it, other than protest in Madison there isn't much to do - besides drink - in the whole state of WI.
Considering he hit a car with his car in the parking lot, they can definitely bust him for whatever they want to bust him on.
I know in Iowa, at least, you can get arrested for drunk driving even if you are parked in your car at an interstate rest area. I don't think they can if you are in a private parking lot, like a gas station, but I've heard at least two stories like that one.
Don't forget, in Wisconsin, you can cheer on the Green Bay Fudge Packers.
In colorado laws are similar to iowa. If you are drunk and trying to sleep it off you need to be in the passenger seat or back seat with the keys put away and out of reach like in the glove compartment
FIB
you can figure it out. Lol
