LEWISTON, Minn. — A deputy sheriff responded to a complaint about a driver all over the road and stopped the vehicle and found the driver drunk. Arrested was Erick James Madison, age 39, of Rochester. The deputy reported an overwhelming odor of alcohol and said Madison had a balance issue when he swiveled out of the vehicle. His speech was slurred, the deputy said. This was about 6:15 p.m. on U.S. Highway 14 in Lewiston near the new fire station. A breath test put Madison’s blood-alcohol ratio at 0.22%, almost triple what’s allowed. Charges included giving a false name.
