Overview
- Police say Wolgamott’s car struck a legally parked, occupied vehicle on the 1300 block of 13th Street North, and the occupant was taken to St. Cloud Hospital with non-life-threatening injuries following the Wednesday evening crash.
- Stearns County jail records show Wolgamott was arrested shortly after 9 p.m. and is being held on probable-cause DWI-related allegations, including criminal vehicular operation resulting in bodily harm, while formal charges have not been filed publicly.
- The St. Cloud Police Department reported officers concluded alcohol was a factor and that Wolgamott showed signs of impairment during the response, and the department’s Patrol Unit says the investigation is active and ongoing.
- Wolgamott previously pleaded guilty to a DWI in 2023 after a Kanabec County stop that recorded a blood alcohol level of 0.09 and resulted in a stayed jail sentence and probation that ended in September 2025.
- Next steps include the police completing its investigation, a prosecutorial review to decide formal charges, and potential legal and political consequences for Wolgamott as he leaves the state House in January.
