The reporting party indicated that a male that had been drinking in the bar was currently sitting in the driver’s seat of a truck with Minnesota registration EZH663. Deputy Pufahl responded and located the vehicle. Deputy Pufahl parked without blocking the vehicle and approached on foot. Deputy Pufahl identified the male in the driver’s seat to be Joshua Butch Anderson [DOB REDACTED], hereinafter Defendant.
Deputy Pufahl noted a strong odor of alcohol coming from Defendant and observed an open container of marijuana on the center console. Corporal Klukas noted loud music coming from the vehicle as they approached and observed Defendant turn off and removed the keys from the ignition. Deputy Pufahl asked Defendant to exit the vehicle and Defendant refused. Corporal Klukas ordered Defendant out of the vehicle and Defendant responded “yeah, you’re gonna have to force me out of the car.” Defendant then quickly exited the vehicle and took a fighting stance.
