Police need the help of a Minnesota Brown County DWI Attorney

Even the police need the help of a good DWI attorney. A local Police Officer is facing felony charges after a drunk driving accident. Officer Andrew Mathwig this week was put on paid administrative leave as he faces two felony counts of criminal vehicular operation. The Sleepy Eye Police Officer charges stem from an accident from February 18th where his passenger was seriously hurt south. A Brown County Sheriff's Deputy and Minnesota State Trooper at the scene both say they detected alcohol on Mathwig's breath while talking to him. The office failed several field sobriety tests and a preliminary breath test registered a blood alcohol level of .188. That passenger suffered a dislocated hip and needed stitches causing the upgrade in the felony charges against Mathwig .The investigation is being handled by the Minnesota State patrol prosecuted by the Blue Earth County Attorney's Office to avoid any conflict of interest.
