MORA, Minn. — State Representative Dan Wolgammot was released from custody on personal recognizance shortly after his arrest for drunken driving. Kanabec County’s attorney, Barbara McFadden, said charges could be expected soon. McFadden explained that the judicial system in the rural county, population 16,000, had limited resources and higher priorities. The booking charge at the county jail was suspicion of driving while impaired. A bodily fluid sample found almost 0.11% alcohol in Wolgamott’s blood — about 1-/2 times more than the stat-defined impairment limit.
Wolgammot. A Democrat. First elected in 2018 from House District 14-B, which comprises mostly St. Cloud.
