WINONA, Minn. – A Windom man, at 19 too young to be drinking legally, was arrested after a police foot chase. The chase started when an officer spotted Trenton Thomas Renquist peeing in the bushes at Broadway and Lafayette about 1:50 a.m.. He zipped up and zipped off, police said. He was tackled a block away. He smelled of alcohol and had bloodshot and watery eyes, the officer said. Asked for his papers, Renquist produced fake identification that listed him of age to buy alcohol. His blood-alcohol registered at 0.20% — 2-1/2 times what’s allowed. When the facts were sorted out, Renquist was charged with public urination and fleeing an officer. Friends took him home for the night to sober up. It wasn’t Renquist’s first run-in with the law over alcohol. In March 2022 be was charged with drunken driving at Broadway and Huff. in the same neighborhood.
