Let’s say you had a couple bumps at a bar – like, say, 8 to 12 of them. And then decided to drive home.
You were carrying a gun, and a car full of loose ammunition.
You drove down the freeway, until you didn’t – you swerved off the road, rolled your car, scattering ammunition all over the place. You had to be extricated, in no condition for a field sobriety test. When you finally took a whiz test at the hospital, you tested at a .13 BAC – 50% above the legal limit,and a level that indicates you were likely at a .17 during the accident itself.
And you’re a civilian.
Do you think the county attorney is going to let you plead out to fourth degree DUI?
I’m referring of course to Henco Sheriff Dave Hutchinson.
Or course. you wouldn’t. At the very least, the County Attorney would put you through a legal wringer, and make sure you settled with charges that involved serious time in jail.
So – is it just county employee mutual backscratching?
Maybe.
Now ask yourself – would Rich Stanek, the previous Sheriff and the last elected Republican of any kind in Henco, have gotten the same treatment?
Remember how the media covered his adult son’s behavior. before you answer that.
Oh, yeah – the media. The only media actually covering this story are the conservative alternative media here in MInnesota:
So perhaps we call it “DFL Privilege?”
I don’t know what it means, perhaps it’s normal among some people, but there was THC vaping and Delta-8 gummies in the car as well. I don’t actually know, is this important?
I hope those Hennepin country residents are happy paying for that totaled SUV because the county is self-insured. And Tubby ain’t going to have to fork over anything.
If that is a 4th degree DUI, what is a 1st? I’m going to do some googling to learn, but perhaps another commenter can enlighten me.
I looked it up. Apparently mulligans are available when you drive drunk. Who knew?
Call me weird, but I’d dare suggest that charges ought to be upgraded, not downgraded, when it’s a police officer doing that. There is a ton of stuff in that car that indicates the man needs some serious help.

Not only should we be asking if it is important, we should be asking if it is legal. I’m not a MJ scholar, but my understanding is that all the legal CBD products available everywhere in this state to NOT contain THC. Therefore, anything that does contain THC outside of the medically approved and restricted products, is still illegal in this state.
But I’m sure that’s just yet another charge that will either be overlooked or plead away.
Thanks, Bill C. I honestly don’t know but the ammo, the “drugs”, and the totaled vehicle tell me there’s something rotten about this whole thing. Especially since I know someone who rolled a vehicle while drunk and they didn’t this apparent kid-glove treatment.
The left’s stupidity and hypocrisy know no bounds. They are vilifying Kim Potter for making a mistake when she pulled her Glock instead of her taser, because she’s a “training officer”. This implies that the left’s enemies can’t make mistakes when they hold certain positions. Well, where is the vilification of Hutchinson? He is the top cop, so he definitely should have known better. The double standards are the only standards that the left has.
They’re not protecting him because he’s a cop. They’re protecting him because he’s a sodomite.
Is that .22 win mag?
What’s a sheriff doing with that?
FISCH, double taps for Fascists.
