Police got a report of a possible drunken driver at about 11:55 p.m. on Wednesday Jan. 23, south of Avenue 54 on the roundabout at Jefferson and Avenue 52.

Responding officers found an empty vehicle that apparently hit a curb and had two flat tires, sheriff’s Sgt. Ben Ramirez said.

Shortly after 1 a.m., police found Kenneth Wysoglad of Park Ridge, Ill., on PGA Boulevard and arrested him, Ramirez said, adding that Wysoglad was booked at the county jail in Indio on $2,500 bail, according to jail records.
