Complaint Says Interlock Was Required
Authorities checked Lewis’ driving status after the stop.
The complaint says her driving privileges were revoked.
It also says Lewis had an ignition interlock requirement.
When the officer returned to the vehicle, no ignition interlock device was seen.
Lewis confirmed the vehicle did not have one, according to the complaint.
She was then placed under arrest.
Lewis is charged with driving without a required ignition interlock device.
That count is listed under Minnesota Statute 171.09.
She is also charged with driving after revocation involving an ignition interlock violation.
That count is listed under Minnesota Statute 171.24.
The complaint also references Minnesota’s ignition interlock law under Minnesota Statute 171.306.
Case Remains Pending
Each charge carries a maximum sentence of 364 days in jail.
Each charge also carries a possible $3,000 fine, or both.
The complaint says Lewis was already on release conditions in a third-degree DWI case.
Those conditions required her to remain law abiding.

The charges are only accusations at this stage.
Lewis is presumed innocent unless proven guilty in court.
