ND tax commissioner found intoxicated, taken to detox

By Pat Sweeney Nov 15, 2021 | 4:59 PM

North Dakota Tax Commissioner Ryan Rauschenberger was taken to detox in Bismarck today (Mon) after he was found intoxicated in a Bismarck hotel room.
Police say they were called after Rauschenberger was found in a room that he was not supposed to be in. An officer discovered him asleep and face down on a bed.

The report says Rauschenberger gave the officer the address of the hotel while attempting to give the officer his phone number. He was taken to detox and then to the Burleigh-Morton Correctional Center when he could not find a safe ride.

Four years ago, Rauschenberger, a Republican, was arrested for DUI after he was stopped by the highway patrol. He apologized and later pleaded guilty. Last August, he was cited for open container in Bismarck.

In 2014, Rauschenberger took a temporary unpaid leave of absence citing his decision to seek professional help for alcohol issues.
