Jeff Dubay

Former KFAN and ESPN 1500 sports radio personality Jeff Dubay was recently jailed on drug-related charges after he was stopped by a state trooper, according to the website bringmethenews.com.

Dubay, 56, was allegedly found inside the vehicle on March 8 "naked but covered by a blanket" in West Union, Minnesota. He was also covered in vegetable oil.

According to the criminal complaint, Dubay was seen driving a Jeep erratically by a Minnesota State Patrol trooper. The trooper followed the Jeep and witnessed it make "jerky movements" and "traveling in the middle of the road."

After Dubay pulled into a parking lot and then drove back onto Oak Street, the trooper initiated a traffic stop.

Dubay began speaking quickly to the trooper when approached, saying he was trying to drive to Fargo and had exited the freeway to check the Minnesota Gophers hockey game on his phone. However, Fargo was the opposite way from where Dubay was heading when he was pulled over.

The complaint notes that while looking for his driving license, Dubay appeared to be sweaty and was "very restless and continued to speak rapidly." When asked why he was sweating profusely, Dubay suggested it was because he had stopped taking his medication. He then clarified he wasn't sweaty but rather "greasy."

The 56-year-old failed multiple field sobriety tests before his vehicle was searched. Police found a methamphetamine and two bottles of adhesive remover. Dubay admitted to huffing the two bottles.

Dubay has a long string of previous convictions for drug possession, as well as other convictions for assault, domestic assault, and driving offenses.
