A St. Paul man was arrested in western Wisconsin driving nearly 100 miles per hour with three children in his car — and he was drunk, authorities said.
Simeon T. Bluntson, 33, was stopped by the State Patrol about 7:30 a.m. Saturday on Interstate 94 near Baldwin.
Bluntson was clocked at 96 mph in the 70 mph zone, the patrol added. The children in his vehicle were all under 16 years old.
He was booked into the St. Croix County jail on suspicion of drunken driving. He made bail and was released.
