Cass Lake Woman Charged After DWI Crash

Cass Lake (trfnews.i234.me) — A Cass Lake woman is facing gross misdemeanor charges after an alleged impaired driving crash involving two children.

Alicia Nicole Kamrowski, 37, of Cass Lake, is charged in Cass County District Court with DWI and driving after cancellation. The case was filed under Court File No. 11-CR-26-772.

The charges stem from a June 1, 2026, crash near Pine Street and 62nd Avenue in Cass Lake.

Crash Reported In Cass Lake

According to the criminal complaint, officers responded to a single-vehicle crash shortly after 4 p.m.

Authorities found a gray Volvo sedan off the road. The complaint says its front bumper was against a tree.

The vehicle had no license plates, according to court documents.

Dispatch had received several driving complaints about the same vehicle. Callers reported reckless driving in the neighborhood.

Two juveniles were allegedly inside the vehicle when it crashed. Both were under age 16, according to the complaint.

Complaint Alleges Alcohol Use

One juvenile told investigators that Kamrowski had been drinking Captain Morgan liquor while driving, according to the complaint.

Authorities later located Kamrowski at a nearby residence. Court documents say she showed signs of intoxication.

The complaint states she had poor balance and used a handrail to steady herself.

Officers also reported bloodshot, glassy eyes and a strong odor of alcohol.

Kamrowski allegedly said she did not remember what happened.

A preliminary breath test showed a blood alcohol concentration of .212, according to the complaint.

Kamrowski was later taken to the Leech Lake Law Enforcement Center.

After a breath test advisory was read, she agreed to testing. The complaint says the final breath test showed a .18 BAC.

Charges Filed In Cass County

Kamrowski is charged with operating a motor vehicle with an alcohol concentration of .08 or more within two hours.

The charge cites Minnesota Statute 169A.20 and Minnesota Statute 169A.25.

Prosecutors allege aggravating factors were present. Those include prior impaired driving incidents, children in the vehicle, and a BAC above .16.

Kamrowski is also charged with driving after cancellation as being inimical to public safety.

That charge falls under Minnesota Statute 171.24.

Each gross misdemeanor count carries a maximum penalty of 364 days in jail, a $3,000 fine, or both.
