Hubbard County<\/strong> (trfnews.i234.me<\/a>) \u2013 Anthony Robert Eichberg, of Rockford, was charged with second-degree driving while impaired in a 2024 case. The charge followed a June 14 traffic stop in Hubbard County, Minnesota.<\/p>\n

Traffic Stop Leads to DWI Investigation<\/h2>\n

According to the criminal complaint, a deputy was watching traffic on County Road 9 around 9:40 a.m.<\/p>\n

The deputy spotted a Chevrolet Impala with registration that had expired in April. A records check showed the registration had been revoked.<\/p>\n

The vehicle was stopped near County Road 9 and County Road 45.<\/p>\n

During the stop, the deputy reported slow, slurred speech and bloodshot, glossy eyes.<\/p>\n

According to the filing, Eichberg said he had no valid driver’s license or vehicle insurance.<\/p>\n

Inside the vehicle, the deputy observed empty bottles of 99-proof peppermint schnapps.<\/p>\n

The deputy also reported finding empty and unopened Bud Light Clamato beer containers.<\/p>\n

Breath Tests Reveal Alcohol Levels<\/h2>\n

When questioned about drinking, Eichberg reportedly said he had consumed one Clamato beer that day.<\/p>\n

Eichberg also described medical conditions that affected his balance and walking.<\/p>\n

A roadside eye test reportedly showed signs of impairment.<\/p>\n

An initial breath screening returned a reported result of 0.167.<\/p>\n

Driver Describes Previous Drinking<\/h2>\n

Eichberg later told the deputy he had been drinking inside his car in Park Rapids the night before.<\/p>\n

He said he had slept in the vehicle for several hours.<\/p>\n

The complaint says Eichberg also spoke about struggling with alcohol use.<\/p>\n

He reportedly told authorities he was traveling to a friend’s residence on County Road 101.<\/p>\n

At the jail, Eichberg received a breath-testing advisory and declined the opportunity to speak with an attorney.<\/p>\n

He agreed to a breath test, which registered 0.14 at 11:47 a.m.<\/p>\n

That reading was above Minnesota’s legal driving limit of 0.08.<\/p>\n

Previous DWI History Cited<\/h2>\n

Prosecutors filed the charge as a gross misdemeanor, citing two or more alleged aggravating factors.<\/p>\n

According to the complaint, Eichberg had an implied-consent revocation dated June 3, 2024.<\/p>\n

That revocation concerned a June 1 incident in Itasca County.<\/p>\n

The filing also cited a DUI conviction from June 6, 2023, in Winnebago County, Illinois.<\/p>\n

The Itasca County incident was also linked to court case 31-CR-24-1447.<\/p>\n

Second-Degree DWI Charge and Penalties<\/h2>\n

Under Minnesota Statute 169A.25<\/a>, second-degree DWI is a gross misdemeanor.<\/p>\n

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

Driving with an alcohol level of 0.08 or higher can violate Minnesota Statute 169A.20<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The case was filed in Hubbard County District Court under number 29-CR-24-829<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

The complaint identifies a summons rather than an order of detention.<\/p>\n

The allegations have not been proven by the complaint alone.<\/p>\n

The provided document does not identify a plea, verdict, or final case outcome.<\/p>\n

Individuals charged with crimes are presumed innocent unless proven guilty in court.<\/em><\/p>\n
