POLK COUNTY, MN – Authorities in Polk County arrested Adam Thomas Nelson, 38, on March 13, 2025, for gross misdemeanor DUI – refusing to submit to a chemical test, in violation of Minnesota Statute 169A.20.2 [4].
Under Minnesota’s implied consent law, drivers lawfully arrested for DUI (Driving Under the Influence) must submit to a chemical test (breath, blood, or urine). Refusing a chemical test is a serious offense, often leading to harsher penalties than a standard DUI. Consequences can include mandatory license revocation, jail time, and vehicle forfeiture [10].
Authorities have not released details about Nelson’s arrest, including whether this was a first-time or repeat offense. If convicted, he could face significant fines, probation, or additional legal consequences.
Stay tuned for further updates on this case.
