“Benjamin Fowler Arrested for DUI After UTV Crash”

On Thursday night, the Grant County Sheriff’s Office responded to a report of a UTV (Utility Terrain Vehicle) crash in the Township of Ellenboro, Wisconsin. The crash occurred on Cannon Road near Buckwheat Ridge Road. The authorities were alerted to the incident through an automated notification received on their cell phones.

When the deputies arrived at the scene, they found a 2016 Polaris UTV that had crashed, with the driver, identified as Benjamin Fowler, pinned by his arm under the vehicle’s roll bar. The deputies successfully lifted the UTV, freeing Fowler. Fortunately, after a medical assessment, it was determined that Fowler did not require any medical assistance for his injuries.

Following the incident, an investigation was initiated, and it was discovered that Fowler had been operating the UTV under the influence of alcohol. He was subsequently placed under arrest. Fowler declined transportation and treatment for his injuries.

According to the investigation, Fowler had been traveling north on Cannon Road when he lost control of the UTV while negotiating a curve, causing the vehicle to overturn onto its side. As a result, Fowler was cited on multiple charges, including operating a UTV under the influence, refusal to provide a requested sample, and operating a UTV in a careless manner.

This incident serves as a reminder of the dangers of operating any vehicle under the influence of alcohol. It is not only illegal but also puts the driver and others at risk of serious injury or even death. It is crucial to prioritize safety and make responsible decisions when operating any vehicle, including UTVs.

Law enforcement agencies and organizations continue to advocate for safe driving practices and discourage driving under the influence. It is essential for individuals to be aware of the potential consequences and make responsible choices to ensure the safety of themselves and others on the road..
