According to the arrest affidavits, Police Officer Zakary Kohlmeyer was sitting at the intersection of State and 19th streets at 6:32 p.m. Wednesday when he saw a black Chevrolet Silverado traveling fast.
Kohlmeyer followed the vehicle for 11 blocks and was able to pace the pickup traveling at about 54 mph in a 30-mph zone and initiated a traffic stop near the intersection of 30th and State streets.
Kohlmeyer said that Wold had "watery, bloodshot eyes, slurred speech and smelled of ingested alcohol."
Wold took the standard field sobriety test and, according to the police report, showed "multiple signs of impairment." Wold refused to take a pre-breathalyzer test, and, at the police station, he refused to sign the implied consent paperwork and refused to provide a breath sample for the Datamaster breath test.
Under Iowa law, by refusing to provide a breath sample, Wold faces revocation of his driving privileges for up to one year.
Wold was also issued a citation for speeding more than 21 mph over the posted speed limit.
Operating while under the influence-first offense is a serious misdemeanor under Iowa law that carries a possible jail term of up to one year. There is a minimum mandatory jail term of 48 hours for an OWI-first conviction.
Since this is Wold’s first offense, he could receive deferred judgement in the case. The fine in on OWI-first case is a maximum of $1,250.
According to Scott County Jail electronic records, Wold was booked into the jail at 7:37 p.m. He was released at 9:08 p.m. after posting a cash bond of $1,300.
