WINONA, Minn. — A Lewiston man, who was under a restraining order, was stopped driving with a woman protected by the order. In the vehicle, police said, was 0.4 grams of suspected meth and a meth pipe. Besides a drug possession charge, James Robert Hernstine, age 45, was booked for violating the do-not-contact court order. The woman in the car with Hernstine appeared all right, police said. This was about 3:20 p.m. in the 650 block of Dacota Street on the West Side. Two weeks ago, Hernstine was arrested after a 6-1/2 hour police stand-off in a remote quarry outside Utica. A woman had reported being threatened with an axe and beaten with a broomstick.
