Grand Forks Woman Faces DWI, Crash Charges
EAST GRAND FORKS, Minn. (trfnews.i234.me) — A Grand Forks woman faces three charges after a reported parking lot collision.
Haleigh Kay Krogfoss is charged in Polk County District Court. The case stems from an incident on June 6, 2026.
The complaint charges Krogfoss with second-degree DWI test refusal. It also charges her with third-degree DWI.
A third count alleges she failed to report a collision with an unattended vehicle. All charges remain allegations.
Witnesses Reported Two Impacts
Police responded near Town View Apartments at about 5:40 p.m. A caller reported a possible hit-and-run involving an impaired driver.
Officers found a white Chevrolet Malibu near the apartment complex. Witnesses said the driver had walked toward a nearby store.
Karen Paquette told police the Malibu struck her parked Kia Soul twice. Investigators reported no visible damage on either vehicle.
Kirk Monson also reported seeing two impacts. He told police he stopped the driver from continuing to drive.
Another witness provided a photograph of the reported driver. Police said the image matched Krogfoss and her clothing.
Complaint Alleges Test Refusal
Police located Krogfoss near Cabela’s, according to the complaint. Officers reported slurred speech, watery eyes, and argumentative behavior.
The complaint says Krogfoss first acknowledged driving the white car. She later denied driving and refused field sobriety testing.
Police reported finding Chevrolet keys in her pocket. Investigators later confirmed the keys operated the Malibu.
At the police department, Krogfoss allegedly admitted to being intoxicated. She later refused the requested breath test.
The second-degree refusal charge is a gross misdemeanor. The third-degree DWI charge is also a gross misdemeanor.
Each gross misdemeanor carries a maximum penalty of 364 days in jail. Each also carries a possible $3,000 fine.
The collision charge is a misdemeanor. It carries a maximum penalty of 90 days and a possible $1,000 fine.
Court Case Remains Pending
The complaint lists a prior 2020 impaired-driving conviction in Grand Forks. Prosecutors cite that conviction as an aggravating factor.
Readers can review Minnesota’s DWI law and crash-reporting law.
