LEWISTON, Minn. — A Lewiston man was arrested after roaring muffler-free out of Farmers Park and, according to a witness, weaving all over U.S. Highway 14 up the Lewiston grade. The truck was located in Lewiston parked near Fremont and Second streets. In a roadside breath test Robert Hanson, age 44, blew a blood-alcohol level of 0.28% — 3-1/2 times more than the cut-off for legal impairment. With so much alcohol in his system, Hanson was taken 19 miles to the Winona hospital to be cleared medically before jailing. At jail he refused a fuller blood-alcohol test.
