He also claimed he was unaware of Vice President Kla Harris's [music] schedule in Milwaukee and had no intent to harm anyone. Further verification revealed that Wayne had a prior AWI offense from 1,999. [music] But since more than 10 years had passed, this case was treated as a first offense under current law. Ultimately, he was charged with secondderee recklessly endangering safety felony and OWI operating while intoxicated along with over $2,700 in fines and a $15,000 bond.

And in those moments, even a slight delay can lead to consequences that can no longer be controlled.
