Same old, same old. Gilbert Ricardo Garcia was stopped by Bloomington police Sunday who found him with a blood-alcohol content twice the legal limit and eleven previous charges for DWI.
His lawyer says the Carlton County Attorney has checked into the Hazelden treatment center. His blood alcohol content was three times the legal limit to drive when he was pulled over earlier this month. The County Board of Commissioners is still awaiting word on if and when he plans to return to work.
A Fergus Falls man was sentenced to five years in prison Wednesday for a felony DWI conviction. Richard Papenfuss, 62, has over 20 DWI arrests on his record and has already served prison time for a previous DWI. In the Twin Cities, a Plymouth woman was arrested Thursday morning for probable cause DWI. She had already served prison time for hitting a killing a man in 2010.
I'll give you one guess for what. You got it. Attorney Samuel Surface was arrested early Friday morning after police administered a roadside blood alcohol test and the litigator registered at twice the legal limit.
Annie Stensrud, who some people suspect was drunk on the air following an awkward newscast that went viral on the Internet, has been charged with a DWI following her arrest on suspicion of drunken driving weeks after the news segment. Police say she had a blood-alcohol level of .31 just over an hour after her arrest.
Wisconsin State Patrol officials say a 38-year-old man was arrested on his sixth driving-while-intoxicated charge after he struck a tractor pulling a hay wagon that was carrying several passengers, WCCO reports.
Eagan police said an investigation is under way in the death of the 10-week-old boy who was sleeping in the same bed as his drunken grandmother. According to a search warrant, police suspected the woman, 46, had been drinking alcohol. Results of a preliminary breath test also showed the woman had a blood-alcohol level of 0.18 percent, more than twice the legal limit for driving.
A flaw with testing devices that Minnesota law enforcement agencies started using last fall may cause hundreds of DWI cases to be dropped or thrown out. The Bureau of Criminal Apprehension purchased devices that use either of two methods to measure blood alcohol. The BCA has stopped using one of those methods but says there's no problem with the other one.
