He left the residence and she called the police. She followed him outside and kept an eye on him when he was walking outside of her home.

Police found Widen outside the home and arrested him. Widen had been drinking and a preliminary Breathalyzer test showed he had a blood-alcohol content of .209. He told police he was somewhere south of Ryan Road, but he didn't know exactly where he was and he said he had walked to the residence.

Several people told police they saw Widen looking into mailboxes because he was looking for a woman he knew. He said he had been staying with a friend in the area.  But he didn’t know what street she lived on.

When police took Widen to jail, he repeatedly asked if they would take him to the airport and if they were near the lake.

Charges have been referred to the Racine County District Attorney’s Office.
