Sheriff’s deputies in Winona County report an unusual incident that lead to multiple charges of driving while intoxicated in Minnesota. A young girl was at the wheel of a car on County Road 12 near Witoka when she mistook the gas for the brake and lost control of the vehicle in a curve. She hit a highway sign and continued to drive through a yard and into a garden. At that point, the 19-year old passenger in the vehicle, Benjamin R. Repinski, got behind the wheel and tried to extricate the vehicle, only to hit a shed.

The responding deputies learned the unidentified girl did not have a driver’s license because she was only 12 years old. Benjamin Repinski said that he had been at a party with the young girl and she had been driving him home. A preliminary breath test showed the girl had a blood alcohol content of .09%. Charges of DWI in Minnesota are being considered. Repinski was charged with drunk driving in MN, as well as underage drinking and driving, underage drinking and for allowing an unlicensed person to drive.

The girl was taken to a local hospital, complaining of side and back pain. She refused to provide a blood sample to test her BAC.

Meanwhile, a deputy dispatched to interview the girl at the hospital noticed a moped driver wearing sunglasses at night and driving wobbly down the road. When stopped, the driver said he was on his way to pick up a friend, Repinski, who had called for a ride after the accident. Daniel G. Arndt was also arrested for Minnesota DWI.

A sheriff’s deputy said, “A 12-year old driver, we don’t get them everyday”.

An Anoka County Sheriff’s Department deputy is facing multiple charges following an arrest for DWI in Minnesota where he reached for an officer’s gun and was tasered three times. Lawrence John Doheny was stopped in the southern part of the state for a traffic violation. A Jordan police officer detected alcohol on Doheny’s breath and suspected intoxication. Doheny admitted to having consumed a few beers, and when asked to exit his vehicle he stumbled. He refused to perform field sobriety tests and was placed under arrest for suspicion of driving while intoxicated in Minnesota.

Doheny was taken to the Jordan Police Department and asked to have his urine or blood tested for blood-alcohol content. He offered to submit to a breath test, which is not an option in Scott County. Doheny then said, “you guys nailed me” and agreed to a blood draw at a local medical facility. While being escorted to the hospital, he reached for an officer’s gun and threatened the officer by saying they shouldn’t test him. As the officer secured his gun and called for back-up, Doheny pushed the officer in the chest and started to flee. When Doheny refused the officer’s command to get on the ground, he was hit with a taser gun. He continued to try to escape and was tasered two more times.

Doheny was restrained and taken to the hospital where a blood sample was taken. The results will not be known until processed at a state lab. Doheny was reportedly belligerent to the hospital staff. He faces charges of DWI test refusal, drunk driving in Minnesota and obstructing an officer with force. If convicted of all charges, Doheny, 49, could be fined $7,000 and sentenced to jail for 27 months.

A Texas Tech campus police officer has been placed on administrative leave following an incident where she is thought to have let an intoxicated driver go free. Around 4:50 am on August 1, the unnamed female officer stopped Michael Aaron Garcia for a traffic infraction. Garcia claims the officer told him he would not be charged with Texas DWI if he found a safe ride home. Garcia was taken home by his relatives. A little over an hour later the Lubbock Police Department responded to a scene where Garcia was threatening his relatives because they thought he was too intoxicated to drive. That incident lead Garcia to be charged with arson and assault.

Now University officials want to know about the initial traffic stop. It is unclear if Garcia was actually impaired at 4:50 am, though he did tell Lubbock officers about the offer from the campus cop. The initial reason for the traffic stop is not documented in computer records, nor is there a reference to Garcia driving while intoxicated. As Garcia is under 21-years of age, he was subject to arrest for any detectable presence of alcohol. Texas DWI law says it is the discretion of a law enforcement officer to make an arrest for drunk driving, and while the university policy mandates that officers follow state law, it does not specify specific action for suspected DWI traffic stops.

In a related issue, the investigation will try to determine why three outstanding misdemeanor warrants for Garcia’s arrest apparently did not appear in a routine check.

An administrative leave is not an indication of wrong-doing on the part of the Texas Tech officer. It is considered standard action at most law enforcement agencies while an investigation is being conducted.

As of August 10, Garcia remains jailed on $74,000 bond.
