Ethan Taylor Grimlie-Johnson

Complainant is Minnesota State Patrol Trooper Melissa Fischer. Complainant states that on November 4, 2025, troopers conducted a traffic stop in the area of I-94 and Weaver Lake Road in the city of Maple Grove, Hennepin County, Minnesota, after observing the driver of the vehicle using his cell phone while driving. Upon contact with the driver, later identified as ETHAN TAYLOR GRIMLIE-JOHNSON [DOB REDACTED], troopers advised GRIMLIE-JOHNSON of the hands free violation and he acknowledged it. GRIMLIE- JOHNSON then provided troopers with his MN ID instead of his driver's license.

When asked why he didn't provide his license, GRIMLIE-JOHNSON stated he believed it should be valid again, but all he had was his ID. An inquiry of GRIMLIE-JOHNSON's driver's record revealed his license was Cancelled-Inimical to Public Safety. When advised of this, GRIMLIE-JOHNSON stated he thought he had done everything that was required of him. GRIMLIE-JOHNSON was placed under arrest with no further issue. GRIMLIE-JOHNSON was sent notice of Cancellation-IPS in September of 2020. Since then, GRIMLIE- JOHNSON has been convicted of DAC-IPS three separate times, with the latest being in March of 2024. GRIMLIE-JOHNSON has not taken any action to get his license valid since that previous conviction.
