(ABC 6 News) – Jennifer Griffin was arraigned Tuesday, Oct. 15, on two charges of 2nd-degree Driving While Intoxicated and one charge of driving after license revocation.

According to court documents, Griffin allegedly admitted to having two shots of whiskey before crashing into a structure and vehicle at 1844 24th Street NW, and said she was coming from the liquor store.

The liquor store staff had, according to court documents, called into dispatch to tell them Griffin tried to buy alcohol but was refused shortly before the crash.

Griffin declined to take a breath test, was taken to the ADC where she complained of head pain.

She was transported to St. Mary’s via ambulance before being booked back into the ADC.

Griffin was released on $0 bail with conditions, including use of an alcohol monitor and an agreement not to drive without a license and insurance.

Griffin was previously convicted of DWI in 2018, and was convicted of nine counts of driving after license revocation between 2018 and 2020, according to Minnesota Court Records Online.
