(Algona)--A Pocahontas woman is facing a felony drunk driving charge following a traffic stop Tuesday evening near Algona.
The Kossuth County Sheriff’s Office says at around 11:30 pm, deputies conducted a traffic stop along US Highway 18 on a vehicle driven by , 34-year-old Courtney Fridolfson of Pocahontas.
According to the criminal complaint, Fridolfson had blood shot eyes, and a field sobriety test showed signs of impairment, leading Deputies to conduct a breathalyzer exam, which registered above the legal limit. Fridolfson was arrested on a charge of OWI 3rd Offense, a Class D Felony.
Fridolfson is also charged with providing false information to law enforcement. Authorities say she originally used her mother’s identification when speaking with Deputies.
Fridolfson is scheduled to have a preliminary hearing on November 20th.
