WARREN, Minn.<\/strong> (trfnews.i234.me<\/a>) \u2013 A Warren man faces a gross misdemeanor DWI charge after a late-night traffic stop in Marshall County.<\/p>\n

According to court documents, a deputy clocked a red Subaru Outback traveling 58 mph in a 30 mph zone.<\/p>\n

Joseph Allen Erickson, 37, of Warren, was arrested following the September 22, 2026, incident.<\/p>\n

Authorities reported that his breath alcohol concentration registered 0.24, three times Minnesota’s standard legal driving limit.<\/p>\n

Deputy Spots Speeding Subaru in Warren<\/h2>\n

The investigation began around 11 p.m. near North 7th Street and Highway 1 in Warren.<\/p>\n

According to the criminal complaint, a Marshall County deputy noticed a 2013 red Subaru Outback traveling at a high speed.<\/p>\n

The deputy followed the vehicle as it traveled through Warren.<\/p>\n

The Subaru eventually parked at Horizon Apartments.<\/p>\n

The deputy returned to his previous patrol location after observing the vehicle.<\/p>\n

However, the same Subaru reportedly appeared again several minutes later.<\/p>\n

Vehicle Clocked at 58 MPH in 30 MPH Zone<\/h2>\n

According to court documents, the Subaru was traveling northbound on 7th Street when the deputy observed it again.<\/p>\n

The deputy’s radar registered a speed of 58 mph in a posted 30 mph zone.<\/p>\n

The deputy activated emergency lights and attempted to catch up with the vehicle.<\/p>\n

The Subaru entered an alley and parked near a residence.<\/p>\n

As the deputy approached, he reportedly observed the driver exiting the vehicle and walking toward a house.<\/p>\n

The driver was identified as Joseph Allen Erickson.<\/p>\n

Deputy Reports Signs of Alcohol Impairment<\/h2>\n

The deputy explained the reason for the stop and requested Erickson’s driver’s license and insurance information.<\/p>\n

While Erickson retrieved the documents, the deputy reportedly noticed an open alcoholic beverage container inside the driver’s door.<\/p>\n

According to the complaint, Erickson also displayed several signs of possible alcohol impairment.<\/p>\n

These included bloodshot and watery eyes, slurred speech, delayed responses, and an odor of alcohol.<\/p>\n

Additional Marshall County deputies arrived to assist with the investigation.<\/p>\n

Breath Tests Register Over 0.24<\/h2>\n

Deputies repeatedly asked Erickson to participate in standardized field sobriety testing.<\/p>\n

According to the complaint, Erickson declined the tests and requested a preliminary breath test instead.<\/p>\n

The roadside test reportedly registered a breath alcohol concentration of 0.241.<\/p>\n

Deputies arrested Erickson on suspicion of driving while impaired.<\/p>\n

He was transported to the Marshall County Jail for additional testing.<\/p>\n

After receiving the Breath Test Advisory, Erickson agreed to provide another breath sample.<\/p>\n

The evidentiary breath test registered an alcohol concentration of 0.24, according to court documents.<\/p>\n

Third-Degree DWI Charge Filed<\/h2>\n

Prosecutors charged Erickson with one count of third-degree driving while impaired.<\/p>\n

The charge is classified as a gross misdemeanor under Minnesota law.<\/p>\n

An alcohol concentration of 0.16 or higher is an aggravating factor under Minnesota’s DWI statutes.<\/p>\n

The charge carries a maximum penalty of 364 days in jail, a $3,000 fine, or both.<\/p>\n

Additional information is available under Minnesota Statute 169A.26<\/a> and Minnesota Statute 169A.03<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The case is filed in Marshall County District Court under court file number 45-CR-26-294.<\/p>\n

The criminal complaint was issued with a summons.<\/p>\n

The allegations have not been proven in court. Erickson is presumed innocent unless proven guilty.<\/p>\n
