9 <br />On 03/17/2019, ten over-time funded and five volunteer reserve officers produced the <br />following: <br /> <br />• 142 traffic stops <br />• 11 people taken to jail <br />• 3 DWI arrests <br />• 23 drivers cited for DAR/DAS/DAC <br />• 3 vehicles towed <br /> <br />The streets were a little less crowded for the “official” St. Patrick’s Day, but everyone <br />still had a productive night. It is worth pointing out that over 16% of the drivers that we <br />stopped were operating a vehicle on a Revoked, Suspended, or Cancelled license. <br />Now…on to the notables: <br />• A St. Anthony Officer was not satisfied with some of the answers that he received from <br />a suspect during a warrant arrest (one of two that he made during the detail). His <br />persistence paid off…and led to the discovery of an unreported burglary in a different <br />Ramsey County community. <br />• A St. Paul Officer made a Felony warrant arrest and 3rd degree DWI arrest (0.18 BrAC) <br />during the detail. <br />• A Ramsey County Deputy cited 5 drivers for DAR/DAS/DAC, arrested one for GM <br />DAC-IPS, and finished the evening with a 4th degree DWI (0.15 BrAC). <br /> <br />On March 1 around 2 am, Officer Kostohryz stopped a vehicle for lane use and <br />equipment violations. The driver displayed signs of impairment and failed field sobriety <br />tests. He was arrested for DWI and provided an evidentiary breath sample of .20. He <br />was booked at the Ramsey County Jail for 2nd Degree DWI due to the high test and a <br />previous alcohol-related conviction. <br /> <br />On March 8 around 10:30 pm, Officer Craig stopped a vehicle near Mounds View High <br />School after witnessing the driver pass him traveling 50 mph in a posted 30 zone on 10th <br />Street NW @ Old Highway 8 NW. The driver showed signs of impairment and failed <br />field sobriety tests. She provided an evidentiary breath sample of .18 and was booked at <br />the Ramsey County Jail for 2nd Degree DWI due to two previous alcohol-related driving <br />convictions. <br /> <br />Around 11:30 pm on March 8, Officer Kostohryz observed a male who appeared to be <br />sleeping in the driver’s seat of a running vehicle that was illegally parked in a posted <br />zone at the Fountain Terrace Apartments. The driver was awoken and showed signs of <br />impairment. He failed field sobriety tests and was arrested for DWI. His breath alcohol <br />concentration measured .13 and he was booked at the Ramsey County Jail for 3rd Degree <br />DWI due to one prior DWI conviction. <br /> <br />On March 13, a traffic stop was conducted on a vehicle for an illegal u turn and <br />displaying an expired registration. The driver displayed signs of impairment and a smell <br />of alcohol was coming from the vehicle. The diver initially consented to some field <br />sobriety tests but then refused additional tests and refused a preliminary breath test. The <br />driver was arrested for DWI. He agreed to provide a breath test which revealed a BAC of <br />.14. The driver was cited for 4th Degree DWI and booked at the Ramsey County LEC. <br />
