BLOOMINGTON, Minn. — A part-time police officer from southeast Minnesota’s Chatfield was arrested 105 miles away after crashing his car in this south Minneapolis suburb. Kenneth Ronald Gallion, 61, was in full uniform, carrying a sidearm, and very drunk, police said. His blood-alcohol tested at 0.28% — 3-1/2 times the acceptable level. Gallion, who lives in Rochester, was en route home from a moonlighting security job at the State Fair grounds in St. Paul. He also had been speeding, police said. This was just before midnight in the 9400 block of Lyndale Avenue.
