(Hustisford) A UTV operator was arrested for Operating While Intoxicated after his vehicle fell through the ice in the town of Hustisford Sunday. The Dodge County Sheriff’s Office responded to Sinissippi Lake around 5pm.
The preliminary investigation showed that the UTV, a 2024 Polaris, was traveling north on the lake when it went through the ice. The Hustisford Fire Department worked in coordination with the sheriff’s office and were able to successfully pull two occupants from the UTV out of the water and back to shore.
Both occupants were uninjured. The passenger, a 46-year-old Hustisford man, was released at the scene. The driver, reportedly identified as Adam Malterer, was arrested for Operating a UTV/ATV While Under the Influence First Offense.
The 45-year-old was transported to Aurora Medical Center as a precaution where he was later released.
