Traffic Stop and Arrest<\/h2>\n

According to the complaint, officers stopped Winger\u2019s vehicle and saw signs that suggested possible impairment. The complaint says he failed some field sobriety tests.<\/p>\n

During the stop, officers also told Winger to open his mouth. They reported seeing heat bumps on the back of his tongue. Those marks can be viewed as a possible sign of recent drug use.<\/p>\n

When asked about drug use, Winger allegedly said he last used drugs a couple of months earlier.<\/p>\n

Search of Vehicle<\/h2>\n

The complaint says Winger was on supervised probation for a June 2023 felony drug possession conviction. His probation agent then requested a urinalysis and allowed a search of his person and vehicle.<\/p>\n

Officers allegedly found a butane torch lighter on Winger. Inside the vehicle, they reportedly found a sealed package with a white crystalline substance. A glass pipe was also found.<\/p>\n

Authorities said both items gave presumptive positive test results for methamphetamine. The package allegedly weighed about two grams.<\/p>\n

Urine Testing and Prior Conviction<\/h2>\n

A search warrant was later used to obtain a urine or blood sample. A urine sample was collected and will be sent to the Minnesota Bureau of Criminal Apprehension for testing.<\/p>\n

Because probation had also requested a urinalysis, another urine sample was taken at the jail. That sample allegedly tested positive for MDMA, amphetamines, and methamphetamines.<\/p>\n

The complaint also states that Winger has a prior felony DWI conviction from August 2019.<\/p>\n

Case Status<\/h2>\n

Formal charges are allegations. They have not been proven in court. Winger is presumed innocent unless proven guilty.<\/p>\n

Readers can review Minnesota law on first-degree DWI<\/a> and fifth-degree controlled substance crime<\/a>. Public case records may also be available through Minnesota Court Records Online<\/a>.<\/p>\n
