Based upon the information contained therein, your Complainant believes the following to be true and correct: That at approximately 7:42 A.M. On November 6, 2025, Officer Davick was traveling in a fully marked patrol vehicle and on his way to work for a training day at the Cottage Grove Police Department when he observed a Ford Escape traveling ahead of his squad that crossed the left side fog line with both driver’s side tires. This driving conduct occurs northbound US Highway 61 just north of Highway 10. The suspect motor vehicle corrected back into the traffic lane.

Then a short distance later the suspect motor vehicle again crossed over the left side fog line for approximately 50 to 100 feet before correcting. The suspect motor vehicle then crosses the left side fog line for a third time and this time partially enters the left hand ditch area. Officer Davick initiates a traffic stop. The suspect motor vehicle came to a stop on the left side of the two-lane roadway just north of Manning Avenue. It should be noted that this is a location in the City of Cottage Grove, Washington County, Minnesota.

Once stopped Officer Davick approached, identifies himself as a Cottage Grove Police Officer and asks the female driver for her driver’s license and proof of insurance. Officer Davick identifies the female driver via a Minnesota picture driver’s license as one KATHERINE HARRIS MOLDENHAUER, hereinafter referred to as “the Defendant.” Officer Davick asked the Defendant where she was heading. The Defendant stated that she was heading to Vadnais Heights for work. During his contact with the Defendant Officer Davick observed an odor of alcohol, the Defendant’s eyes to be bloodshot and watery and her speech to be slurred.

Officer Davick returned to his squad to run the Defendant and to request an on-duty patrol Officer to respond to his location as Officer Davick was only in a Police Sweatshirt and was without his body worn camera. As short time later on-duty Patrol Officer Alec Bobick arrived at Officer Davick’s location. Officer Bobick was briefed by Officer Davick as to the observed driving conduct and his identification of the Defendant as well as his observations regarding alcohol use. Officer Bobick approached the suspect motor vehicle and made contact with the Defendant.

Officer Bobick immediately observed her eyes to be bloodshot and watery, she displayed slurred speech and exhibited a strong odor of alcohol. Officer Bobick inquired whether she had consumed any alcohol prior to driving. The Defendant stated that the evening prior, at 9:00 P.M., she drank approximately one ounce of vodka. Officer Bobick asked the Defendant to step from her vehicle to perform roadside field sobriety testing. The Defendant agreed and performed poorly on a series of tests. The Defendant then submitted to a PBT test that indicated a.271 alcohol concentration.
