A Black River Falls man charged with 8th OWI was sentenced in Jackson County Court on Monday.

During January of last year, Bernard Mueller was pulled over for a defective tail light.  Authorities could smell intoxicants in the vehicle.  Mueller admitted to authorities that he should have walked and he failed a field sobriety test.  Mueller was found guilty of, due to a no contest plea, 8th OWI.

Another charge was dismissed and read in.  He was sentenced to 3 years in prison and 4 years of extended supervision.  He must also have an ignition interlock device for 2 years.
