At 12:01 a.m. Dec. 29, Waukesha police officers were called to a residence in the 100 block of Cook Street after Zwintscher’s girlfriend got off of work and came over to see him and found him passed out on the floor. She said she had seen Zwintscher snort heroin twice before and he now looked liked he vomited out of his nose, which wasn’t right.

Zwintscher was revived and officers found drugs and paraphernalia in his home. He’s currently being held in Waukesha County Jail on $2,500 bond while awaiting trial.
