The encounter began at about 11:53 p.m. Oct. 13, and Nielson was arrested at about 12:32 a.m. Oct. 14 following the investigation, according to a news release.
He was also charged with improper use of hazard flashers, consuming alcohol or cannabis in a motor vehicle on a public highway, and illegally stopping or standing on a public highway.
