FAIRMONT — A Truman man is facing two gross misdemeanor DWI charges following separate incidents in Fairmont this summer. Forty-two-year-old Adam Thomas Kneeland is accused of driving while impaired by nitrous oxide on June 12th and again on July 28th. According to court complaints, police were called both times after receiving reports of a man inhaling nitrous oxide while sitting in a vehicle. Officers say they found frosted nitrous oxide canisters in the vehicle during both incidents and observed signs of impairment. Kneeland was previously convicted of fourth-degree DWI in February of 2025. That conviction is being used as an aggravating factor in the two new third-degree DWI charges. Each charge carries a maximum penalty of 364 days in jail, a $3,000 fine, or both. Kneeland was charged by summons and is presumed innocent unless proven guilty.
