Guilty verdict triggers suit over Bemidji police procedures
Doris Day was found guilty of driving while intoxicated and fined $200 in district court on May 8. Gerald Seck, her attorney, files a $10,000 claim against Bemidji for police arrest procedures, alleging denial of a lawyer and failure to read implied consent. Day denies driving or intoxication, says breathalyzer offer was refused, and that she was not allowed to phone a lawyer or sister before waiting overnight. Judicial Officer Phillip D. Nelson says acquittal would imply perjury by three Bemidji officers and questions Day’s account of events surrounding the arrest after a police officer instructed her to enter the vehicle and move over.
