WINONA, Minn. — With the car up on a sidewalk about 1:30 a.m., something clearly was amiss. Police found the driver, Anna Theresa Burandt 24, of Winona, inside and tested her for having imbibed. Her blood-alcohol showed at 0.17%, double what the law allows. There were other less quantifiable signs of intoxication. Burandt was slurring her words. Her eyes were bloodshot. Balance was a challenge. And she reeked of alcohol. Then too, the officer had seen her swing too wide at Third and Center streets in the downtown bar district and go up on the sidewalk.
Life in fast lane. Ends up on sidewalk.
