Waupaca County criminal sentencing May 8

• Judge Keith Steckbauer sentenced Thomas W. Roesler, 61, Oshkosh Correctional Institute, to two years in state prison and three years of extended supervision.

Roesler will serve his Waupaca County sentence concurrently with the sentence he received in Milwaukee County for his fifth drunken driving offense.

Roesler was initially charged in September 2012 with a fifth drunken driving offense in Waupaca County. He absconded and a warrant was issued for his arrest.

Less than a year later, Roesler was arrested and charged with drunken driving in Milwaukee County. He was sentenced in October 2013 to 30 months in prison, to be served consecutively to the one year he failed to serve after being convicted of a fourth drunken driving offense in 2009.
