Detroit Lakes DWI Case Alleges .236 BAC<\/h2>\n

Detroit Lakes<\/strong> (trfnews.i234.me<\/a>) \u2014 A Hawley man is facing gross misdemeanor DWI charges in Becker County District Court.<\/p>\n

Logan Theodore Stoa, 31, is charged in Becker County Court File 03-CR-26-888. The case stems from an April 16, 2026, traffic stop in Detroit Lakes.<\/p>\n

According to the complaint, Detroit Lakes police were dispatched at about 7:30 p.m. for a driving complaint. The report involved a vehicle traveling in the city.<\/p>\n

Police later found the vehicle on the westbound U.S. Highway 10. The complaint says the vehicle was weaving before it was stopped.<\/p>\n

Charges Filed In Becker County<\/h2>\n

Stoa is charged with third-degree driving while impaired. He is also charged with third-degree driving with an alcohol concentration of .08 or more.<\/p>\n

Both counts are listed as gross misdemeanors. Each count carries a maximum sentence of one year in jail, a $3,000 fine, or both.<\/p>\n

The complaint cites Minnesota Statute 169A.20<\/a>. It also cites Minnesota Statute 169A.26<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Complaint Alleges .236 Alcohol Concentration<\/h2>\n

The complaint states that Stoa smelled of an alcoholic beverage during the stop. Police said he agreed to field sobriety testing.<\/p>\n

Based on his performance, police believed Stoa was impaired. He was then arrested for driving while impaired.<\/p>\n

Authorities later obtained a warrant for a blood or urine sample. The complaint says urine testing showed an alcohol concentration of .236.<\/p>\n

The complaint alleges the result was measured within two hours of driving. Prosecutors also allege one aggravating factor was present.<\/p>\n

Court records say the alleged offense happened in the city of Detroit Lakes. The case is filed in Minnesota\u2019s Seventh Judicial District.<\/p>\n

A criminal complaint is not a conviction. Stoa is presumed innocent unless proven guilty in court.<\/p>\n

More information about Minnesota courts is available through the Minnesota Judicial Branch<\/a>.<\/p>\n
