Overview
- Police stopped Griffen for speeding on Riverview Drive on Thursday night and then discovered his driving record showed a restriction requiring an ignition interlock device.
- Officers say the vehicle did not have a functioning interlock installed and Griffen was booked on a gross-misdemeanor charge before being released on bond.
- Griffen posted on Instagram denying alcohol or drug use and saying his license issue stemmed from missed administrative requirements after a recent move.
- The charge is being handled separately in Winona County and Griffen is due to appear remotely in court on August 28.
- Ignition interlock devices block a car from starting unless a breath test shows no alcohol and failing to comply with an interlock restriction can trigger criminal charges and affect probation or license status.
