WINONA, Minn. – A Winona man was arrested for drunken driving in an odd case that began the night before in a quarrel. Reportedly Scott Wesley Whetstone, age 50, had been too drunk to be in charge of the kids. So police took the kids to a girlfriend’s place for the rest of the night. In the morning Whetstone called police to stand by at the girlfriend’s place to be witnesses while he tried to pick up the kids to take back to his place. His intentions backfired. Police arrived as Whetstone was waiting in his car to go get the kids. This was about 9:20 a.m.in the 500 block of Kerry Drive on the Far West End. He was arrested. Not only was his blood-alcohol still at 0.10%, one-fifth more than the legal impairment level, but also he was driving, police said. The kids stayed with the girlfriend.
