WINONA, Minn. – The officer smelled alcohol through the driver’s open window during a traffic stop and saw empty Corona beer bottles strewn inside. Such, said the officer, led to the arrest of Miguel Agel Rios-Torres, 36, of St. Charles. This was about 10:05 p.m. at Third and Hamilton streets. Also, the officer said, the man’s eyes were red and watery, and he admitted to consuming four or five alcoholic beverages. A roadside sobriety test showed balance and dexterity difficulties. A preliminary breath test showed his blood at 0.11% alcohol, almost 1-1/2 times the legal standard for impairment.
