Roseau Man Charged In DWI Case After .23 Test
Roseau (trfnews.i234.me) — A Roseau man is facing two gross misdemeanor DWI charges after a driving complaint from a local liquor store.
Logan Ordean Gislason, 28, is charged in Roseau County District Court with third-degree DWI. The complaint lists two counts tied to the same May 12, 2026 incident.
The charges include third-degree DWI while under the influence. He is also charged with third-degree DWI for an alcohol concentration over .08.
Both counts are listed as gross misdemeanors. Each count carries a possible sentence of up to 364 days in jail. Each count also carries a possible fine of up to $3,000.
Complaint Began At Liquor Store
According to the criminal complaint, dispatch received a report at about 7:40 p.m. The report came from an employee at the Roseau Municipal Liquor Store.
The employee reported that an intoxicated male entered the store and then drove away. The vehicle was described as a Chevy Trailblazer.
Officers later found a silver Chevy Trailblazer parked on 6th Street SW in Roseau. The complaint says Gislason was seen in the driver’s seat.
A passenger was identified as Samantha Jo Hiebert. She told police she went to the liquor store with Gislason. She said the store refused service.
Breath Test Reported At .23
The complaint says officers noticed signs of alcohol use while speaking with Gislason. Those signs included slurred speech and the odor of alcohol.
Gislason allegedly declined field sobriety testing. The complaint says he told an officer, “I’m buzzed, I’m going to be honest.”
He was then arrested on suspicion of DWI. He was taken to the Roseau County Jail.
The complaint says Gislason asked to speak with an attorney. He was given a phone and a directory.
After that, the breath test advisory was continued. Gislason agreed to take a breath test. The complaint says the test result was .23.
Under Minnesota Statute 169A.20, it is a crime to drive, operate, or be in physical control of a motor vehicle while impaired.
Under Minnesota Statute 169A.26, third-degree DWI is a gross misdemeanor when an aggravating factor is present.
Store Employee Spoke With Police
The complaint says store employee Korey Michael Myer later spoke with police. He said a female customer tried to buy alcohol.
Myer said he refused service because he believed the customer was intoxicated. He also said the customer told him she was not driving.
According to the complaint, Myer said the customer told him her driver was more drunk than she was.
Police later reviewed store security video. The complaint says the video showed Gislason and Hiebert arriving in the Trailblazer at about 7:33 p.m.
The complaint states Gislason was observed in the driver’s seat.
Court records can be searched through Minnesota Court Records Online.
The charges are allegations. Gislason is presumed innocent unless proven guilty in court.
