Edina man charged after runway DWI at Flying Cloud

Hennepin County prosecutors charged Joshua Dayn Hoekstra, 52, after Eden Prairie police say he drove a silver Jeep onto active runways at Flying Cloud Airport on Nov. 23, 2025. Officers boxed in the vehicle; Hoekstra showed signs of impairment, blew about 0.13 on a breath test, and was cited for DWI, careless driving, and not having a driver’s license in possession after telling police he’d flown back on a private jet from the Vikings–Packers game.
