MARINETTE - State Patrol dash cam video shows Marinette's mayor having trouble standing, admitting to being drunk and joking around with deputies.
The newly released video is from Robert Harbick's OWI arrest Saturday afternoon.
In the video, the mayor is seen in the parking lot of the Marinette Taco John's, which is near the stoplight he allegedly crashed into.
According to the timestamp, around 4:20 p.m. a State Patrol deputy says to Harbick, "You've been drinking?"
He responds, "Yeah." The deputy then says "A little bit too much maybe, huh?"
Harbick replies, "Yeah" before falling back on his heels. Two State Patrol deputies then move closer to the mayor to help support him.
As one of the deputies prepares a breathalyzer, Harbick says, "Keep it out of the papers is all I'm asking. Can you do that?"
The State Patrol deputies then try three times to give the mayor a breathalyzer. They also ask him where he was drinking.
Harbick responds, "We had a cocktail at my place." The deputy says, "Just one cocktail?"
The mayor replies," Just one martini."
The deputy continues, "Must have been a big one."
After a fourth attempt to give the mayor a breathalyzer, Harbick is placed under arrest.
The mayor is then told he is being taken to the sheriff's office to try their machine and if that doesn't work a blood test.
In the process of being cuffed, Harbick says to one of the deputies, "Can I hold your gun?" The deputy responds, "No, no you can't have that."
Following that, one of the deputies puts Harbick in the back of a State Patrol car.
The mayor was cited for OWI. Authorities say his blood alcohol level was more than three times the legal limit.
Earlier this week, he pleaded no contest and paid a nearly $900 fine.
As part of the plea, Harbick's driver's license will be suspended for nine months.
He will also have to have a device installed in his car that prevents his vehicle from starting if the driver has alcohol on his or her breath.
Harbick has another court appearance next month for another citation connected to the crash.
The mayor has apologized and says he takes full responsibility.
Harbick says he is also writing a letter to all the department heads of the city -- with another apology -- and reiterating that all employees should use better judgment than he did this past weekend.
Meanwhile, seven of the nine city council members have signed a letter asking for Harbick's resignation.
"I saw it just before I signed the petition and it swayed me pretty heavy," said council member Terry Sentusky about the video.
"People on the street, the constituents, my constituents, are just not happy with what happened. That's the biggest thing."
City Council President Sandra Saunier was one of two members who did not sign the petition.
"I think he's done everything. He's paid his fines, he's admitted he's guilty," she said.
"For some people that's really hard to do, especially in the eyes of the city."
Saunier says Harbick has told her he plans on getting alcohol treatment.
Harbick declined comment for this story. He told on Tuesday he does not plan on resigning.
He also apologized while reading from a prepared statement.
