Lakeland PBS reported in State Rep. Matt Grossell Arraigned on DWI Charges in Clearwater Co. Court:
A local state representative was arraigned in Clearwater County Court on Wednesday on DWI charges.
Republican Rep. Matt Grossell of District 2A is charged with DWI-fourth-degree driving while impaired, DWI-operate motor vehicle-alcohol concentration .08 within two hours, and DWI-operate motor vehicle under influence of alcohol.
Grossell was cited on February 11th at 1 a.m. after a State Trooper pulled him over for driving 71 mph in a 55 mph zone near Gonvick. According to court records, Grossell tested at .15 BAC, which is almost twice the legal limit.
Bluestem will stay on the lookout for developments as this story unfolds.
