PENNINGTON COUNTY, MN<\/strong> (trfnews.i234.me<\/a>) \u2013 A Red Lake man faces serious DWI charges after a traffic stop near Highway 59.<\/p>\n

Kyle Joseph Stillday, 50, of Red Lake, was arrested October 26, 2026, at approximately 9:01 p.m.<\/p>\n

According to the criminal complaint, Stillday registered a blood alcohol concentration of 0.21 during an evidentiary breath test.<\/p>\n

Authorities also discovered he had a canceled driver’s license and an outstanding Beltrami County warrant.<\/p>\n

Sheriff’s Deputy Stops Vehicle Near Highway 59<\/h2>\n

The incident occurred near the intersection of Highway 59 and 150th Street Northeast.<\/p>\n

A sheriff’s deputy conducted the traffic stop and approached Stillday’s vehicle.<\/p>\n

According to court documents, the deputy noticed several indicators suggesting Stillday might be impaired by alcohol.<\/p>\n

The available complaint summary did not specify the original reason for the stop.<\/p>\n

Driver Allegedly Said He Would Fail Sobriety Tests<\/h2>\n

During the investigation, the deputy asked Stillday whether he would participate in field sobriety testing.<\/p>\n

According to the complaint, Stillday responded that he would not pass the tests.<\/p>\n

Despite that statement, Stillday agreed to complete the roadside sobriety exercises.<\/p>\n

The deputy reported that Stillday failed the tests.<\/p>\n

A preliminary breath test then produced a blood alcohol concentration of 0.26<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

That reading was more than three times Minnesota’s standard legal driving limit of 0.08.<\/p>\n

Second Breath Test Shows 0.21 BAC<\/h2>\n

Following the roadside investigation, authorities administered an evidentiary DataMaster breath test.<\/p>\n

According to the complaint, the second test returned a result of 0.21 BAC<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

That result was more than two and a half times the standard legal limit.<\/p>\n

Although the second result was lower, it remained substantially above Minnesota’s legal threshold.<\/p>\n

Previous DWI Convictions and Canceled License<\/h2>\n

Investigators also reviewed Stillday’s driving history.<\/p>\n

The criminal complaint indicated he had several previous DWI convictions, including one within the preceding 10 years.<\/p>\n

Authorities also determined his driver’s license had been canceled as inimical to public safety.<\/p>\n

This classification means his driving privileges had been canceled because he was considered a public safety risk under Minnesota law.<\/p>\n

The prior impaired-driving incident and elevated alcohol concentration are relevant to the alleged aggravating factors.<\/p>\n

Second-Degree DWI and Additional Charges<\/h2>\n

Stillday faces the following charges:<\/p>\n
