Fergus Falls Man Charged After 0.22 DWI Test<\/h2>\n

OTTER TAIL COUNTY<\/strong> (trfnews.i234.me<\/a>) \u2014 A Fergus Falls man faces two DWI charges after an early-morning encounter on June 8.<\/p>\n

Hunter Zachery Norman, 27, is charged in Otter Tail County District Court. Both counts are gross misdemeanors.<\/p>\n

The complaint charges Norman with second-degree DWI while under the influence of alcohol. It also charges him with having an alcohol concentration of 0.08 or higher.<\/p>\n

Each count carries a maximum sentence of 364 days in jail. Each also carries a possible $3,000 fine.<\/p>\n

Vehicle Found Near Rural Intersection<\/h2>\n

According to the complaint, a deputy found a parked vehicle around 12:13 a.m. Its headlights were off.<\/p>\n

The vehicle was near 190th Street and 260th Street in Otter Tail County. Two people were inside.<\/p>\n

A four-wheeler was parked behind the vehicle. Norman was sitting in the passenger seat.<\/p>\n

Norman allegedly said he rode the four-wheeler there about one hour earlier. The complaint says he showed signs of alcohol use.<\/p>\n

Those reported signs included bloodshot eyes, watery eyes, and slurred speech. Norman allegedly said he had consumed a couple beers.<\/p>\n

Breath Tests Cited in Complaint<\/h2>\n

The complaint says Norman completed field sobriety testing. A roadside breath test allegedly showed a 0.206 alcohol concentration.<\/p>\n

Norman was then arrested and taken to the Otter Tail County detention facility. He was given time to contact an attorney.<\/p>\n

A later breath test was completed at 1:25 a.m. That test allegedly returned a 0.22 alcohol concentration.<\/p>\n

Prosecutors allege two aggravating factors supported the second-degree charges. The complaint cites one prior DWI conviction.<\/p>\n

The charges were filed under Minnesota\u2019s DWI offense law<\/a> and second-degree DWI law<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Case information may also be available through Minnesota Court Records Online<\/a>. The court file number is 56-CR-26-1309.<\/p>\n

A criminal complaint contains allegations. Norman is presumed innocent unless proven guilty in court.<\/p>\n
