CALEDONIA — A 38-year-old Franksville man has been charged with two felonies, including possession of a firearm on school grounds, after he allegedly crashed his bicycle while intoxicated in front of Gifford Elementary School.

Clinton J. Schumacher also was charged with possession of a firearm while intoxicated and resisting an officer, a misdemeanor, following the May 7 incident near the school, 8332 Northwestern Ave.

Schumacher, who crashed in a ditch on school property, told police he had a firearm and a concealed-weapons permit in his coat pocket, according to a criminal complaint. The weapon had seven rounds in the magazine and one in the chamber, police said. Schumacher also had a knife in his front pocket, according to the complaint.

Officers immediately smelled alcohol on Schumacher, who registered a .24 on a breath test, the complaint states.

Schumacher allegedly became uncooperative as police took him to Wheaton Franciscan-All Saints hospital for a blood draw, calling officers profane names. He got increasingly angry as they went into the hospital and resisted officers’ attempts to keep him under control and take him into the building, according to the complaint. He eventually complied with officers’ orders and consented to the blood draw.

The charges carry a combined maximum sentence of five years in prison and $30,000 in fines.
