Former Johnson County Auditor Travis Weipert was arrested for OWI Thursday morning.
According to court documents, the 45-year-old Tiffin resident was pulled over for excessive speeding on Highway 218 just after 10am. Radar confirmed Weipert was going 96 miles an hour in a 65 miles per hour zone.
While stopping, he used excessive breaking and almost struck the rear of the vehicle in front of him.
Weipert failed all field tests and provided a PBT showing his breath-alcohol level at .278 percent; a subsequent Datamaster showed it at .232 percent.
He was charged with OWI first offense and faces up to a year in jail if convicted.
Weipert resigned as Johnson County Auditor in July 2024, citing personal health issues. He subsequently took a job that October as the Registration and Elections Manager in DeKalb County, Georgia. He has since returned to the area.
