Charity Michelle Malvig

On June 13, 2026, at approximately 1:08am, Ramsey PD Officer Lux was on Highway 10 NW in the City of Ramsey, Anoka County, MN, when he observed a vehicle cross the fog line and conducted a traffic stop. The male driver was identified as Andrew Hipsag [DOB REDACTED] ("AH"). The female passenger was identified as CHARITY MICHELLE MALVIG [DOB REDACTED], Defendant herein. Officer Lux observed signs of impairment, so he had AH perform field sobriety tests. While Officer Lux was conducting the tests, Defendant moved to the driver's seat and fled from the stop.

Officer Berthiaume was on scene by then to assist and pursued Defendant. AH told Officer Lux that Defendant was a girlfriend and had been drinking earlier in the night as well. He claimed to not know why she fled. Officer Berthiaume pursued Defendant at speeds up to 60 mph before Defendant eventually stopped and was arrested. Officer Berthiaume smelled a strong odor of consumed alcoholic beverage emitting from Defendant. She also had bloodshot, watery eyes and slurred speech. She declined to do field sobriety tests.

She agreed to do a PBT but did not blow hard enough for it to provide a result. She declined to do it a second time. Defendant was then read and explained the breath test advisory several times because she claimed to not understand it. She was given attorney time and spoke to an attorney at the jail. She initially said she would do the DMT test but ultimately refused. As of the filing of this complaint, Defendant is in the custody of the Anoka County Jail awaiting her first appearance. She appears to have no prior criminal convictions in MN.
