A Ramsey County judge excluded a BCA urine test and rescinded a Minnesota license revocation after the sample was destroyed despite an express preservation demand.

Last month, the Minnesota Department of Public Safety announced its 2026 DWI Enforcement All-Stars. Fifty-seven officers made the list. Together, they made 4,415 DWI arrests in 2025, accounting for 16.5 percent of all DWI arrests statewide. The State also named Bill Lemons of the Minnesota County Attorneys Association its DWI Prosecutor Enforcement All-Star.
