## Summary

Minnesota state representative Daniel Wolgamott was arrested in St Cloud after police said his car struck a parked vehicle while he was impaired, injuring a man inside. The 37-year-old was taken to hospital with non-life-threatening injuries; the incident matters because it is Wolgamott’s second drunk-driving arrest in three years.

The 36-year-old lawmaker remained in custody on Thursday morning and was being held over three DWI-related allegations, including driving while impaired with an aggravating factor, but had not been formally charged. He pleaded guilty to drunk driving in 2023, received a stayed 45-day jail sentence and two years’ probation, which he completed in September 2025. Wolgamott has represented House District 14B since 2019 and is due to leave office in January 2027.
