She is also charged with driving after cancellation as inimical to public safety.<\/p>\n<p>The complaint says three children under 16 were inside the vehicle during the stop. Prosecutors also cite a prior DWI-related conviction from 2024.<\/p>\n<h2>What the Complaint Says Happened<\/h2>\n<p>According to the complaint, tribal police saw a gray Volvo leave the Family Dollar area in Cass Lake at about 9:58 p.m. The vehicle did not have license plates.<\/p>\n<p>The complaint says the Volvo turned onto Aspen Avenue. It then pulled into the grass north of U.S. Highway 2. Police then made the stop.<\/p>\n<p>Kamrowski allegedly told police she did not have a driver&#8217;s license. The complaint also says she did not have proof of insurance.<\/p>\n<h2>Signs of Alleged Impairment<\/h2>\n<p>The complaint says Kamrowski was overly talkative and fidgety. It also says she avoided eye contact. Her eyes were described as glassy.<\/p>\n<p>Police also noted unusual pupil response and rapid eye movement, according to the complaint. Officers then used field sobriety tests during the stop.<\/p>\n<p>The complaint says Kamrowski showed several signs of impairment during those tests. A preliminary breath test later showed 0.00 alcohol, according to the complaint.<\/p>\n<p>Because of that result, the police suspected drug impairment. The complaint says Kamrowski stated she had used the day before. She allegedly said she believed the substance was cocaine.<\/p>\n<h2>Charges and Next Steps<\/h2>\n<p>The first count alleges controlled-substance DWI. Prosecutors say two aggravating factors were present. They cite the children in the vehicle and a prior 2024 DWI test refusal conviction.<\/p>\n<p>The second count alleges Kamrowski drove while her license was canceled as inimical to public safety. Both charges are listed as gross misdemeanors in the complaint.<\/p>\n<p>The complaint says police arranged for the children to be taken home. Investigators later obtained a warrant for blood or urine testing. A blood sample was then collected at a hospital, according to the complaint.<\/p>\n<p>The case remains pending in court. A criminal charge is an allegation. A defendant is presumed innocent unless proven guilty.<\/p>\n<p>Readers can review <a href=\"https:\/\/mncourts.gov\/access-case-records\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Minnesota court record access information here<\/a>.
