WINONA, Minn. – A Winona driver was arrested after showing signs of inebriation and booked on an elevated drunk-driving charge — elevated because it wasn’t his first time. Arrested was Scott Adrian Sabotta, age 67. His blood-alcohol, tested at Third and Sioux streets, where he was stopped, was 0.16%. A recheck at jail showed 0.17%. Those readings are double what’s permitted to drive. The arrest was about 11:45 p.m. Police said that Sabotta admitted through slurred speech to having downed three beers and a mixed drink with top-shelf Windsor Canadian whisky.
