Felony OWI
An arrest warrant was issued Monday for a Shawano woman who failed to appear on felony charges of operating while intoxicated, according to court records.
Destinee M. Lyons, 42, was arrested in Marion on Aug. 19 after police there received a tip that Lyons might be driving while intoxicated, according to the criminal complaint. She was pulled over on U.S. Highway 45.
A preliminary breath test showed a blood-alcohol concentration of 0.21 percent, nearly three times the legal limit, the complaint states.
Lyons could face a maximum six years in prison and $10,000 fine if convicted of fifth-offense OWI, and the same possible penalty for fifth-offense operating with a prohibited blood-alcohol concentration. She is also charged with a misdemeanor count of operating while revoked.
According to court records, Lyons has two previous OWI convictions in Shawano County, one in Oconto County and one in Winnebago County.

Bradley V. Kurszewski, 35, could face 10 years in prison and a $25,000 fine if found guilty of reckless endangerment.

According to the complaint, an initial breath test showed a blood-alcohol level of 0.17 percent, more than twice the legal limit.
