Authorities say a Grand Forks driver faces multiple charges in a Monday morning rollover that injured six people with ties to a musical artist who appeared hours earlier at Alerus Center.

Grand Forks Police say 32-year-old Starsha Laquisha Swift has been charged with DUI, DUI refusal, driving under suspension and six counts of reckless endangerment.

Authorities say shortly after 2:00 AM, Swift was driving an SUV on Demers Avenue when it left the road, struck a median, overturned and ejected two passengers – 24-year-old Sherwood Daymond of Tampa (FL) and 32-year-old Lanauze Hollis of Lithonia (GA) — who were transported to Altru.

Swift and four others in the SUV got out with assistance. Police say Swift refused medical attention, while the four others — 33-year-old Corey Reeves of Lithonia (GA), 28-year-old Alexander Kendrick of Columbus (GA), 35-year-old Demetris Smith of Smyrna (GA), and 36-year-old Lebron Bremmer (no address given) — were taken to Altru for non-life-threatening injuries.

Police say the six passengers are “affiliated” with rapper B. o. B., who had a Sunday night concert at Alerus Center, but they are not band members.

The investigation of the case remains active.
