Thief River Falls<\/strong> (trfnews.i234.me<\/a>) – A Newfolden woman is facing a gross misdemeanor DWI charge after a March traffic stop in Thief River Falls.<\/p>\n

A criminal complaint filed in Pennington County District Court charges Ashley Marie Wilson with third-degree DWI involving a controlled substance. The case is listed as Court File No. 57-CR-26-292.<\/p>\n

Traffic Stop Near Schools<\/h2>\n

According to the complaint, law enforcement stopped a vehicle after checking its Minnesota license plate. The check allegedly showed the registration was revoked.<\/p>\n
