Local Celebrity Update

Some unfortunate news out of the April 21 edition of the Crookston Daily Times, local hockey superstar, Wade "The Blade" Demarais was arrested for third-degree DUI. While this is troubling news, don't worry folks "The Blade" was cut free from police custody on his OPR (Unlike Doc who got to spend some quality time with Booger's Native American relatives in the joint).

  2. 3rd degree? I know that I'm not a member, so please educate me here. Do you have to score higher than a .24? Or is there a Canadian conversion?

  3. 3rd Degree DWI/DUI is a Gross-Misdemeanor, which is subject to up to 1 year in jail, a fine of $3,000.00, or both. Generally, this is charged when there is a prior DWI/DUI Conviction or Revocation within 10 years prior to the current offense, or no priors, but the BAC was .20 or more, or there was an "underage" child in the vehicle, or this offense is charged as a First-Time Refusal to take the test.

  5. From what I've read, you get a 3rd degree if you're drinking at a bar more than 20 miles from home with two of your buddies, leave them at the bar and proceed to the nearest gas station. When you get there, you need to buy a case of beer and a pack of smokes, then head north to Canada. When you get pulled over, make sure to have opened at least one of the beers you bought (with the opened case sitting shot gun), be on your phone, and be smoking a ciggy. At this point you will need to blow a .24 and fail any given field sobriety tests. This usually leads to meeting Fuji at the C-town jail. This is not scientific, just going on what i've heard. And haven't we all been there before?

  7. Also, I only spent 15 hours in the pokey and was on my way to Fargo minutes after getting out. Of course I had to "borrow" Weens' truck since I had no idea where my car was, but one way or another I was at Feever's bachelor party that night drinking like a champion and watching him crawl around on stage at the Northern.
