GRAND FORKS — A Grand Forks man was recently given a suspended prison sentence for driving while intoxicated, causing his motorcycle to crash into a vehicle, with the condition that he complete a chemical abuse evaluation.

Tyler Blake Power, 33, pleaded guilty Oct. 23 to a Class B misdemeanor charge of driving under the influence. He was sentenced to 6 days of probation, all of which was suspended, as long as he completed the evaluation as ordered and met other requirements.

There was a collision in Power on the evening of May 11

in the 900 block of South 20th Street, the Herald previously reported.

According to a press release issued by the Grand Forks Police Department at the time, a 2007 Toyota Camry driven by Heather Wippler, 39, of Grand Forks, was turning into the Ben Franklin Elementary School parking lot. Power’s 2010 Yamaha V95 motorcycle hit him.

There were no injuries.

In addition to being charged with DUI, Power was also ticketed for liability insurance and unqualified operator.

Sometimes this signature is used when there are many authors in a news story or when the news is created by bringing together previously reported news from various sources. If external sources are used, it is stated in the story.
