Original Note:
Walz was arrested in 1995 on suspicion of DUI. The charge was dropped and it was amended to reckless driving and paid a $200 fine. The confusion was due to ear damage caused by service in the National Guard and Walz was deaf at the time and couldn't hear the officer. https://www.postbulletin.com/news/deafness-a-factor-in-1995-walz-arrest
