Alcohol Impairs Judgement at Wrong House

(Michigan City, IN) - A trip to grandmother’s house in the eyes of a driver ended in a wrong location and an arrest for being impaired in Michigan City early today.

 

At about 1:30 a.m., La Porte County Police said, officers were called regarding a possible burglary in progress in the 400 block of Spruce Drive.  The complainant reported an unknown individual was trying to get inside her residence through the front door.

 

Upon arrival, officers spoke to Laura Wilemon of Michigan City, whose vehicle was parked in front of the home.

 

Wilemon, 36, told investigators she drove to the home believing it belonged to her grandmother and reportedly remained convinced it was her grandmother’s house throughout the conversation between her and the officers.

 

She was arrested with an alleged blood alcohol level of .37 percent, which is well above four times the legal limit.

 

Wilemon was charged with a Class A misdemeanor Operating a Vehicle while Intoxicated.
