Thief River Falls <\/strong>(trfnews.i234.me<\/a>) \u2014 A Roseau man faces a drunk driving charge after a pickup allegedly did \u201cdoughnuts\u201d on a Thief River Falls street and hit
\nmailboxes and power boxes.<\/p>\n

Report Of Doughnuts And Property Damage<\/h2>\n

The incident was reported on December 5 on Birchlane Drive in Thief River Falls. Callers told dispatch a pickup was spinning in the street and throwing snow or gravel.<\/p>\n

Witnesses said the truck struck mailboxes and power boxes along the road. The driver then left the area and headed toward Third Street.<\/p>\n

Police went to the neighborhood to look for the pickup and check for damaged property. They did not find the vehicle right away.<\/p>\n

Suspect Vehicle Returns To Area<\/h2>\n

Shortly after the officers left, dispatch received another call from the area. The caller said the same people had returned, this time in a car.<\/p>\n

According to the complaint, the group was outside taking photos and laughing near the damaged spots. An officer then stopped the suspect vehicle.<\/p>\n

The officer identified the driver as Tyson Allan Cockle Janicke<\/strong>, 19, of Roseau.
\nThe officer also spoke with other people in the vehicle.<\/p>\n

DWI Charge And Underage Drinking Citation<\/h2>\n

The officer reported several signs of impairment from Cockle Janicke. A preliminary breath test showed a result of 0.206 blood alcohol content.<\/p>\n

Later, a DMT test showed a result of 0.18 blood alcohol content, according to the complaint. In Minnesota, a level of 0.08 or higher is considered impaired driving.<\/p>\n

Cockle Janicke has been charged with third-degree DWI \u2014 0.16 or greater. He was arrested at the scene. He is presumed innocent unless proven guilty in court.<\/p>\n

Libby Parker Erickson<\/strong>, 18, of Thief River Falls, has been cited for underage consumption in the same incident.<\/p>\n

The complaint states that Cockle Janicke allegedly told officers he was trying to have as much fun as possible before serving a 30-day jail sentence in a Roseau County case. He was on probation in that case.<\/p>\n

Officials Remind Drivers About DWI Laws<\/h2>\n

Minnesota officials urge drivers to plan a sober ride and avoid driving after drinking. They note that high blood alcohol levels increase crash risk.<\/p>\n

More information on state DWI laws and penalties is available from the\u00a0Minnesota Department of Public Safety.<\/p>\n

National drunk driving statistics and safety tips can be found through the\u00a0National Highway Traffic Safety Administration<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Court dates in the Thief River Falls case had not been released in public records at the time of this report.<\/p>\n
