James Sele
CALEDONIA -- A 38-year-old Cudahy man is accused of driving drunk with a 10-year-old child in the vehicle. The accused is Jame Sele -- who is now being held at the Racine County Jail. He faces a charge of felony OWI-3rd offense (with passenger under 16 years of age) as well as operating while revoked and misdemeanor bail jumping.
The Racine County Sheriff's Office reports a deputy conducted a traffic stop in the area of Douglas Ave. and Four Mile Rd. in the Village of Caledonia around 6 p.m. on Thursday, Nov. 8 for suspicion of operating with a revoked driver’s license. During the traffic stop, the deputy observed a 10-year-old child seated within the vehicle.
The deputy suspected Sele was under the influence of intoxicants. The deputy conducted field sobriety tests -- and Sele failed those. His preliminary breath test result was a .14 -- or nearly twice the legal limit. Sele was taken into custody.
