During your arrest for driving while intoxicated in Waukesha County, WI you were probably asked to provide a breath or blood sample. If you refused to submit to a breath or blood test, or you took the test and registered a blood alcohol content over the legal limit, the state will seek to suspend or revoke your driver's license.
