Wisconsin Station Owner Arrested In DUI Incident

Hopper

MOUNTAIN DOG MEDIA owner RANDY HOPPER who was voted out of the WISCONSIN State Senate in AUGUST as one of two Republicans to lose a recall election in the politically polarized state, was arrested SUNDAY (10/16) for drunk driving in PEEBLES, WI, reports the FOND DU LAC REPORTER.  

Another driver called 911 at 5:30p SUNDAY to report an SUV "all over the road"; police say HOPPER, who was accompanied by one passenger, refused to take breathalyzer tests at the scene and, later, at the county jail.  A subsequent Preliminary Breath Test test showed HOPPER over the .08 limit, police said.  He was released MONDAY and faces first offense penalties that may include a fine and loss of license.

HOPPER's company owns four stations in WISCONSIN, including Talk KFIZ-A and AC WFON-A (K107.1)/FOND DU LAC, Sports WCLB-A (950 THE GAME)/SHEBOYGAN, and Sports WMBE-A (1530 THE GAME)/CHILTON-APPLETON, WI.
