According to a criminal complaint filed in Cass County District Court, Mitchell Maurice McMahon, 40, of Adel, Iowa, was charged with refusing a chemical test in a DWI investigation.<\/p>\n

The homeowner told investigators a male driver had crossed the yard before getting the vehicle stuck.<\/p>\n

Court Case Information<\/h2>\n
McMahon is charged with Traffic DWI \u2014 refusing to submit to a chemical test.<\/p>\n
The charge is listed as a gross misdemeanor under Minnesota law.<\/p>\n
The offense carries a possible maximum penalty of 364 days in jail and a $3,000 fine.<\/p>\n
Court records show McMahon does not appear to have an impaired driving incident within the past 10 years.<\/p>\n
