Suspected drunk driver drove wrong way toward Kamala Harris' motorcade in Milwaukee
A suspected drunk driver drove on an interstate in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, toward Vice President Kamala Harris’ motorcade.
The incident happened at about 8:20 p.m. Monday on I-94 near the Marquette Interchange, the Milwaukee County Sheriff’s Office said, according to Fox 6.
A 55-year-old man was observed driving an SUV westbound in the eastbound lanes when he was approaching Harris’ motorcade and came close to striking a vehicle in her motorcade.

As the vehicle came closer to the motorcade, deputies stopped the man and determined he was impaired before taking him into custody on recommended charges of operating while intoxicated and recklessly endangering safety, although he has not yet been formally charged.
When officers told the driver he almost struck a vehicle in Harris’ motorcade, he was “extremely surprised” and had “no recollection” of entering the freeway or coming close to hitting another vehicle, the arrest report stated, according to WISN.

Milwaukee Wave coach Marcio Leite 2025-26 team’s evolution in MASL
See first-year Milwaukee Wave head coach Marcio Leite discuss the roles of younger players and veterans as the 2025-26 MASL season begins.
The Milwaukee Wave had been in the awkward position of trying to sell tickets to the MASL championship series without knowing when it would actually host a game.
The questions were answered late April 19, when the San Diego Sockers beat the St. Louis Ambush in the other semifinal in overtime. Their series didn’t even start until four days after the Wave eliminated the Baltimore Blast with victories in a regulation Game 2 and knockout Game 3 at the UWM Panther Arena.
Now the finals are set for two of the most decorated teams in arena soccer.
The Wave will host Game 1 at 6:35 p.m. Wednesday, April 22 and then the series will finish at the Frontwave Arena in Oceanside, California, with Game 2 at 9:30 p.m. April 24 and a potential Game 3 at 9 p.m. April 27.
Three versions of the Sockers have totaled 16 championships in various indoor league with the latest iteration founded in 2009 owning six of those. The Wave has seven.
First-year Wave head coach Marcio Leite has won titles with both franchises.
