Capitol security officer pleads guilty to DWI

Cristian Orea, a Minnesota State Capitol security officer, pleaded guilty Monday in Hennepin County District Court to fourth-degree DWI tied to a July 14 incident at a Minneapolis Lake Street bar where he allegedly posed as an undercover officer. He’ll serve just under a month on house arrest and two years’ probation; the impersonating-a-peace-officer charge will be dismissed upon successful completion, prosecutors dropped third-degree DWI and carrying a pistol under the influence, and the State Patrol says he remains on paid investigatory leave.
