Mathews was then brought to the Olmsted County Adult Detention Center. The responding deputy reported smelling marijuana and alcohol coming from the vehicle Mathews was driving. 

Parkin said law enforcement also found a stolen license plate in the vehicle. Mathews was booked into the jail on suspicion of driving after cancellation inimical to public safety and receiving stolen property. Parkin said the Sheriff’s Office is also seeking charges for DWI and reckless driving.
