Thief River Falls (trfnews.i234.me) – A local woman has been cited for DWI after a late night traffic stop in Pennington County.
According to the citation, 28-year-old Anne Marie Brack of Thief River Falls was stopped shortly after midnight.
The traffic stop happened on November 12 at about 12:41 a.m., near Knight Avenue and Seventh Street.
The report states that Brack was taken into custody and later cited for Driving While Impaired.
The citation notes that a Blood Alcohol Content level was listed as unavailable at the time.
No further test results were included in the summary provided with the citation.
Minnesota law treats DWI cases as serious traffic and public safety matters.
Information about DWI offenses and penalties is available in the state’s drunk driving law. Minnesota Statute 169A.20.
That statute outlines the elements of DWI offenses, including driving while impaired and test refusal.
It also explains different levels of DWI charges, based on past cases and other factors.
Brack’s citation will move into the court system, where hearings will be scheduled in Pennington County.
Court dates and case updates can be found through the Minnesota Judicial Branch website.
The site allows the public to look up many case records and hearing dates.
Minnesota’s Office of Traffic Safety also shares information on impaired driving crashes and enforcement trends.
Those resources are available through the state’s Office of Traffic Safety pages.
Drivers charged with DWI often face license limits, fines, and possible jail time if convicted.
Anyone facing a DWI charge is encouraged to learn about their rights and legal options.
Legal help can come from a public defender or a private defense attorney.
At this stage, the DWI citation against Anne Marie Brack is an allegation, not a finding of guilt.
She is presumed innocent unless and until she is found guilty in court.
