FRAZEE, MN<\/strong> \u2013 (trfnews.i234.me)<\/a> \u2013 A Frazee woman faces two criminal charges following a late-night traffic stop in Becker County.<\/p>\n

Daisy Marie Beckwith, 41, of Frazee<\/strong>, is charged with second-degree DWI test refusal and obstructing legal process.<\/p>\n

According to a criminal complaint, a seven-year-old child was inside Beckwith’s vehicle during the October 31, 2026, incident.<\/p>\n

Traffic Stop on Highway 87 Raises Suspicions<\/h2>\n

According to court documents, a Becker County deputy stopped Beckwith around 11:06 p.m. on State Highway 87 near Frazee.<\/p>\n

The vehicle reportedly had nonworking license plate lights.<\/p>\n

During the stop, the deputy noticed Beckwith speaking rapidly and repeatedly fidgeting with her fingers.<\/p>\n

The deputy also reported that Beckwith’s pupils did not react to light.<\/p>\n

Beckwith denied using any substances when questioned.<\/p>\n

Based on those observations, the deputy requested roadside sobriety testing.<\/p>\n

Driver Allegedly Struggles During Sobriety Tests<\/h2>\n

The complaint states Beckwith showed no standard impairment clues during the horizontal gaze nystagmus test.<\/p>\n

However, the deputy reported that her pupils remained unresponsive to light.<\/p>\n

During the walk-and-turn test, Beckwith allegedly began walking before receiving instructions to start.<\/p>\n

She then stated the test was too difficult and declined to continue.<\/p>\n

During another test, Beckwith reportedly estimated 30 seconds had passed when 54 seconds had actually elapsed.<\/p>\n

The deputy also reported continued finger movements and eye tremors.<\/p>\n

Arrest Leads to Alleged Resistance<\/h2>\n

Believing Beckwith was under the influence of a controlled substance, the deputy placed her under arrest for suspected DWI.<\/p>\n

According to the complaint, Beckwith became upset and demanded to call her mother.<\/p>\n

She allegedly refused to place her hands behind her back and repeatedly pulled away during the attempted handcuffing.<\/p>\n

The complaint states she eventually cooperated after a struggle.<\/p>\n

Beckwith also allegedly refused to enter the patrol vehicle, requiring assistance from the deputy.<\/p>\n

Seven-Year-Old Child Reportedly in Vehicle<\/h2>\n

The deputy confirmed that an adult passenger and a seven-year-old child were inside the vehicle.<\/p>\n

According to the complaint, the adult passenger identified the child as Beckwith’s son.<\/p>\n

The child’s presence was listed as an aggravating factor supporting the second-degree DWI charge.<\/p>\n

Blood or Urine Test Allegedly Refused<\/h2>\n

After transporting Beckwith to the Becker County Jail, the deputy obtained a search warrant for a blood or urine sample.<\/p>\n

Beckwith was informed that refusing a chemical test required by the warrant was a crime.<\/p>\n

Despite repeated requests, Beckwith allegedly declined to provide a sample.<\/p>\n

She was subsequently turned over to jail staff.<\/p>\n
