Tim Walz’s past DUI arrest for driving 96 mph in a 55 zone comes back to haunt VP pick

Kamala Harris’ freshly minted veep pick, Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz, was once arrested for drunk driving after he was pulled over for driving more than 40 mph above the speed limit.

Walz, 60, who was 31 at the time and working as a teacher in Alliance, Neb., was caught on police radar driving his silver Mazda 96 mph in a 55 zone just before midnight Sept. 23, 1995.

When the trooper approached his window, he detected “a strong odor of alcoholic beverage” emanating from the vehicle, court documents show.

I thought that you weren't allowed to reside in Minnesota unless you had at least one DUI arrest.
