CROOKSTON, Minn. City officials in Fertile said their mayor will get to keep his job after he pleaded guilty to driving while impaired on a Minnesota highway.
Court documents say when Nephew was pulled over, he had trouble rolling down the window to talk with the deputy, had bloodshot, watery eyes and smelled of alcohol.
Nephew was surprised when told he was driving the wrong way on the highway, court documents say. He told the deputy he was out drinking that night at a bar in Mentor.
Officers found a half-full can of Natural Light Beer inside the truck, plus open bottles of Jagermeister and Hot 100 in the center console.
The mayor failed a series of field sobriety tests, and blew a 0.24 percent blood alcohol content when he was taken to the jail in Crookston, court documents say, which is three times the legal limit.

Trouble rolling down the window?
The comments of the city administrator (at the source) are interesting.

So the guy got a DUI.

As a bit of a grammar-NAZI, I wish to express my appreciation for your well placed commas.

Unusual names. Mayor Nephew of Fertile was drinking in Mentor, says a reporter in Crookston.

All real town in southern Polk county, and if that's not enough, there is another nearby hamlet named Climax.
Hence the saying; Fertile woman dies in Climax.

Is the town named Fertile, or does the Mayor have sixteen children?
To: Cicero
At the bar named My Cousin’s Place?

Very real.
And 60 years ago it was much like a Mayberry of the North, except with people of Norwegian ancestry (although I don't remember an Andy or Barneyk Fife).

Natural Light? He can’t be all bad. But how do you blow a .24 drinking Natural Light? I stand in awe.
