Driver Blows Through Red Light, Good Samaritan Calls Police

29-year-old woman issued three municipal citations for operating while under the influence, operating a vehicle with a suspended registration and for violating the traffic signal.

An good Samaritan may have helped nab a intoxicated driver in Sussex late last month, according to the Waukesha County Sheriff's Department. 

The eyewitness, according to the department, saw a vehicle run a red light at Highway 164 and Main Street at about 6:15 p.m. on Sept. 29. 

"The witness continued to follow the vehicle and observed numerous other traffic violations including traveling northbound on Highway 164 in the southbound lane," said department spokesman Steve Pederson.
