New this morning, a state representative
is arrested on suspicion of DWI in Stearns County.
And this is not the first time he's been in trouble with the law.
Chinuher is at our live center with what we have learned overnight.
Good morning.
Good morning, guys.

State Rep Dan Wolgamott was arrested
by St. Cloud Police around 9 p.m. last night.
Now, he's currently being held on three charges related to driving
while under the influence,
including criminal vehicular operation, bodily harm.
Now we're still working to learn.
Any of the specifics here about what led up to the arrest right now.
But we do know that this is not the first DWI charge for Wolgamott.
He pleaded guilty back in 2023 after
the state patrol says he was stopped in rural
Kanabec County.
Troopers had received reports he had
been drinking in a liquor store parking lot.
This was Walgamont's guilty plea back then.
He said, quote, I understand that because
of this conviction, if I am convicted in the
future of a subsequent impaired driving offense,
I could be subject to the following increased
penalties, license plate impoundment or vehicle forfeiture.
It goes on to list possible consequences for a second offense,
including a minimum 30 days
in jail.
Wolgamott did not seek reelection, so his term ends.
In January, but we'll continue to follow that.
And if any updates come out, guys, we'll continue to update you.
Yes, we will.
All right.
