WINONA, Minn. – A police officer said he witnessed a car brake suddenly and skid past a stop sign into a busy East End intersection. The driver, Carla Jo Holland, 67, of Dakota, explained she had been at the Hei N Low tavern five blocks away and was heading home. Her speech was slurred and she smelled of alcohol, the officer said. Her blood tested close to 0.15% alcohol – about twice the allowable threshold for driving. This was about 6:40 p.m. at Mankato Avenue and Wabasha Street.
