CLEAR LAKE – For the fourth time, a Clear Lake man was arrested for operating while intoxicated – this time, it involved a boat.
Law enforcement arrested Chad Eric Orfield, age 40 of Clear Lake, Saturday evening, on a charge of boating while intoxicated.
An Iowa Conservation Officer performed a breath alcohol test on a male at the Cerro Gordo Law Enforcement Complex at 6:12 PM. Records show the results were 0.154 and 0.153 – nearly double the legal limit. It was the only breath alcohol test performed on a male on June 27.
Orfield was booked in the jail at 6:31 PM on the boating while intoxicated charge. He was released later Saturday, pending a court date.
Orfield pled guilty in 2013 to felony third offense operating while intoxicated. He had been arrested by Clear Lake police. He was also arrested by CLPD in 2011 and charged with second offense operating while intoxicated, to which he pled guilty. Mason City police arrested Orfield in 2007 for his first drunk driving charge, and he was guilty in that case as well.
Since his first arrest in 2007, how many times do you think he drove intoxicated and didn’t get caught. This guy is an accident just waiting to happen. With any luck, it will be his family members that he hurts.
I think it’s time you just stop drinking! It is obvious you cannot handle it!
