April 1st Press Release

On 3/31/2020 at 11:42 p.m., Norfolk Police responded to a one vehicle accident near the intersection of Crestview Road and Ridgeway Drive. Officers had contact with the driver who was identified as Richard Domsch, 45, of Norfolk. Due to his behavior, Domsch was requested to perform field sobriety maneuvers and to submit to a preliminary breath test. The results indicated impairment. Domsch was then arrested for driving under the influence of drugs, first offense. In a subsequent search, officers recovered a small amount of crystalized substance that tested positive for methamphetamine from his sock. At the jail he refused to provide a urine sample for chemical testing. Domsch was then also arrested for possession of a controlled substance and refusal to submit to a chemical test. A Nebraska State Patrol Trooper who is trained as a drug recognition expert, assisted with the investigation. Domsch was housed in the Norfolk City Jail and later transferred to the Madison County Jail.
