ALTURA, Minn. — An Altura driver was charged with drunken driving on State Highway 248 downhill toward Rollingstone. The arresting deputy said that Omar Itehua Tzomeaxtle, 28, admitted to four drinks. His blood-alcohol at the stop, near Bear Creek Drive, was 0.08% — at the don’t-be-driving cut-off. This was about 11:45 p.m. Asked for his driver’s license, Tzomeaxtle showed the deputy a Mexico-issued document that’s not recognized for driving in Minnesota. This deputy said he stopped the car for going 63 mph in a 45 zone coming out of Altura. The man didn’t do well on field sobriety tests, the deputy said. Plus said the deputy, Tzomeaxtle smelled of alcohol and had bloodshot and watery eyes.
