Let's not create a loophole for drunken drivers to fly through.

Fond du Lac County District Attorney Daniel Kaminsky's odd and offensive plea deal should not be repeated across Wisconsin.

Kaminsky last year allowed Lawrence Schreiber, 48, of Muskego, to plead no contest to operating an aircraft with a prohibited blood alcohol content.

But Schreiber wasn't flying an airplane. Nor is he a pilot.

Schreiber, the president of Anthem Blue Cross and Blue Shield of Wisconsin, was driving — and swerving — a Mercedes-Benz sedan all over Highway 41 in Fond du Lac County the night of June 14, according to a witness driving behind Schreiber who called 911, and according to the sheriff's deputy who subsequently pulled over Schreiber.

Schreiber did poorly on field sobriety tests, according to the deputy. Two breath tests and a blood test also indicated Schreiber's blood alcohol level was considerably higher than the legal limit for operating a motor vehicle.

Yet Kaminsky allowed Schreiber to plead to the unusual charge of flying while intoxicated, which spared Schreiber from losing his driver's license for six months.
