It also does not describe the alleged driving conduct.<\/p>\n<p>No crash, injury, traffic stop, or test result was included in the supplied booking information.<\/p>\n<p>The record also does not name the road or community where the alleged offense occurred.<\/p>\n<h2>What the State Law Says<\/h2>\n<p>Minnesota law bars a person from driving, operating, or controlling a vehicle while impaired.<\/p>\n<p>The cited section concerns impairment caused by a controlled substance.

It does not prove the person committed an offense.<\/p>\n<p>Gunderson is presumed innocent unless proven guilty in court. Charges can be amended, reduced, or dismissed.<\/p>\n<p>The case may also end without a conviction.
