ELBA, Minn. – A driver roared through the stop sign on the Highway 26 entrance to Elba — at the T intersection in front of St. Aloysius Church. He missed the church but hit an embankment. The car overturned and ripped up a lawn. The driver, Brandon Tyler Mauskemo, 21, of St. Charles, was standing by the car, which was on its side, when deputies arrived. He said that he was unhurt and that no one else was in the car. This was about 11:35 p.m. Deputies said Mauskemo’s eyes were watery and bloodshot, his speech slurred, and his gait wobbly. A breath test showed his blood-alcohol content at 0.14%, almost twice the allowable max for driving.
