Last month, the Minnesota Guard told Just the News that it does not know whether Walz, now the Democratic vice presidential nominee, had disclosed his drunk driving charge and guilty plea to the military at the time of the incident. The Guard’s spokesperson did not respond to several follow-up emails seeking clarification.
The Nebraska National Guard, where Walz was serving during the arrest, did not respond to a request for comment.
Sean Timmons, a former military lawyer who reached the rank of Army Captain in the Judge Advocate General’s (JAG) Corps and now works in a private military law practice told Just the News that in his experience such a charge and guilty plea would normally result in a mandatory reprimand and likely spell the end of an otherwise promising career. "
Shortly before midnight Sept. 23, 1995, Walz—a schoolteacher and National Guardsman—was caught speeding 40 mph above the speed limit by a Nebraska state trooper. Walz was driving 96 mph in a 55-mph zone, according to the trooper.
When he stopped Walz, the trooper detected “a strong odor of alcoholic beverage” and the future governor later failed a breathalyzer test. His blood alcohol level clocked in at 0.128, higher than the state’s legal limit of 0.10 at the time. After he failed the breath test, Walz was taken to a local hospital for a blood evaluation and was later booked into the county jail.
