A snowmobiler is accused of driving
his sled while drunk and fleeing from sheriff's deputies down the
main street of a small town in northern Minnesota.


      The 28-year-old Rice Lake man was arrested just after midnight
Tuesday after a Stearns County sheriff's deputy says he clocked him
going 25 mph over the speed limit in St. Stephen, which is north of
St. Cloud.


      The deputy says when he tried stopping the snowmobile, the
driver suddenly accelerated and a female passenger fell off.


      Authorities say the man has three prior alcohol-related driving
offenses.
