Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz pictured in booking photo taken shortly after 1995 DUI stop in Nebraska that landed him behind bars. He pleaded guilty to lesser charges.
Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz became a national figure this week after Vice President Kamala Harris selected him as her 2024 running mate to challenge former President Donald Trump and Ohio. Sen. JD Vance. His past became an immediate topic of interest – and a booking photo obtained by Fox News Digital shows the new vice presidential candidate pictured shortly after a 1995 arrest in Nebraska after state troopers pulled him over for speeding and suspicion of drunken driving.
Court documents allege that Walz, 28 at the time, who was a high school teacher and football coach at the time, was speeding above 80 mph. He failed a breath test with a .128 blood-alcohol level. The limit back then was .1 in many parts of the country, including Nebraska. It is now .08. And he failed a field sobriety test, but his lawyer blamed the incident on a combination of his client's bad hearing and that the state trooper didn't turn his siren's on right away.
