Douglas Dewayne White, 49, was cited for fourth-degree driving while impaired after police reported signs of alcohol impairment.<\/p>\n
The traffic stop occurred October 17 at approximately 10:46 p.m.<\/p>\n
Officers stopped White near the intersection of Third Street and Tindolph Avenue.<\/p>\n
According to the citation, police observed several indicators of impairment during their contact with White.<\/p>\n
Police Report Open Alcohol Containers<\/h2>\n
During the traffic stop, an officer spoke with White and reportedly noticed signs suggesting he had been drinking.<\/p>\n
The officer also observed open containers of alcohol, according to the citation.<\/p>\n
The report does not specify how many containers were present or where they were located inside the vehicle.<\/p>\n
Following the initial observations, police conducted field sobriety tests.<\/p>\n
According to the citation, White did not successfully complete those tests.<\/p>\n
Officers then administered a preliminary breath test to estimate his alcohol concentration.<\/p>\n
Preliminary Breath Test Registers 0.10<\/h2>\n
The preliminary breath test produced a result of 0.10, according to police.<\/p>\n
That reading was above Minnesota’s general legal driving limit of 0.08.<\/p>\n
Following the investigation, officers arrested White and issued a citation for fourth-degree DWI.<\/p>\n
The available report does not identify a later evidentiary breath test or its results.<\/p>\n
It also does not provide additional information about White’s release or possible bail conditions.<\/p>\n Fourth-degree driving while impaired is classified as a misdemeanor under Minnesota Statute 169A.27<\/a>.<\/p>\n The charge applies to violations of the state’s driving while impaired law under the applicable conditions.<\/p>\n Under Minnesota Statute 169A.20<\/a>, most drivers cannot legally operate a vehicle with an alcohol concentration of 0.08 or higher.<\/p>\n Drivers can also face DWI allegations when they are impaired, even without a qualifying alcohol concentration result.<\/p>\n A preliminary roadside breath test is part of an investigation and does not independently establish guilt.<\/p>\n Any conviction or sentence must be determined through the legal process.<\/p>\n The supplied police report identifies White’s arrest and fourth-degree DWI citation.<\/p>\n However, it does not include a court case number or a scheduled hearing date.<\/p>\n The report also does not identify a conviction, sentence, or final case outcome.<\/p>\n Further information may become available through official court records.<\/p>\n Readers can search available cases through Minnesota Court Records Online<\/a>.<\/p>\n![\"Thief](\"https:\/\/trfnews.i234.me\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/Douglas-Dewayne-White-1024x576.png\")
