On January 10, 2026 at approximately 12:38 A.M., Officer Steiner was on routine patrol in the area of Third Avenue and Jackson Street, in the City of Anoka, County of Anoka, State of Minnesota, when he observed a vehicle, MN license SXK579, traveling eastbound on Jackson Street without any lights illuminated. Officer Steiner got behind the vehicle and initiated a traffic stop. Officer Steiner identified the driver via MN driver’s license as LAQUAN PIERRE JOHNSON JR, [DOB REDACTED], the defendant herein.
In speaking with the defendant, Officer Steiner immediately detected an odor of an alcoholic beverage, observed that his eyes were extremely bloodshot and watery, and that his responses were delayed. Officer Steiner asked the defendant how much he had to drink, which the defendant denied drinking any alcohol.

The defendant was then asked to submit to a PBT which revealed a result of.099. The defendant then admitted to consuming “a couple shots” of Tequila.
