Sioux Center Man Faces Felony OWI, Eluding Charges

Rock Rapids, Iowa — A Sioux Center man who faces two felony charges was, by his own admission, “too drunk to take [sobriety] tests,” according to his arrest report.

The Lyon County Sheriff’s Office reports that they arrested 57-year-old Randy Nuzum of Sioux Center on Saturday. The report says that the sheriff’s office had received two reports of an erratic driver regarding Nuzum’s vehicle. It also says that his pickup was missing the right front tire and was riding on the rim, and that at first, he wouldn’t stop for the officer. It says when he did stop, he stumbled from the vehicle and admitted that he was drunk and should not be driving.

Nuzum was charged with Operating While Intoxicated, Third or Subsequent Offense, and Eluding both Class D Felonies. Nuzum was additionally charged with misdemeanor offenses of Operating Without an Ignition Interlock Device and Open Container.
