Park Rapids, MN (trfnews.i234.me) – Abigail Adeline Gartner, 31, of Park Rapids, is facing felony drug possession and gross misdemeanor DWI charges after a July 3 traffic stop in Hubbard County.
Sheriff Cory Aukes initiated the stop after witnessing erratic driving, including swerving and nearly causing a collision. Abigail was traveling at 70 mph in a 55 mph zone and appeared disheveled with bloodshot eyes. Field sobriety tests showed signs of impairment.

She now faces:
-
Felony 5th-degree meth possession
-
2nd-degree DWI for controlled substance impairment
A blood sample was obtained via warrant, and further evidence is pending.
Gartner remains in custody, and the case is under further investigation.
