Overview
- Stearns County Jail records show Wolgamott was taken into custody in St. Cloud and is being held on three DWI-related allegations, one described as criminal vehicular operation involving bodily harm, and he has not been formally charged.
- Public officials have not released details about any injuries or the events that led to the arrest, and the available reporting is based on jail records and police reporting.
- Court records show Wolgamott pleaded guilty to a misdemeanor DWI after a July 2023 Kanabec County stop where his blood alcohol concentration was recorded at 0.09 and he received a stayed 45-day jail sentence with two years of probation.
- He was discharged from that probation in September 2025, did not run for reelection in 2026, ran unsuccessfully for the DFL endorsement for state auditor, later endorsed Zach Filipovich, and his legislative term ends in January.
- If formal charges are filed, the criminal vehicular operation allegation is more serious than a basic DWI and could change legal exposure and public scrutiny as prosecutors review the case and more facts become public.
