A Wabasha County sheriff's deputy struck by a suspected drunken driver has been released from the hospital.  Sheriff's officials say the deputy was on foot patrol early Saturday in Elgin and tried to stop a man he suspected was driving drunk. The pickup truck slowed down, then sped up and hit the deputy, throwing him to the side of the road.
