Shawnee Nichole Basswood Arrested in Polk County for Driving After Revocation 
Law enforcement in Polk County has confirmed the arrest of Shawnee Nichole Basswood on February 6, 2025. Basswood, born on April 5, 1987, was charged with Traffic – Driving After Revocation, a misdemeanor under Minnesota Statute 171.24.2 [1].
Under Minnesota law, individuals caught operating a vehicle while their license is revoked can face criminal charges, including up to 90 days in jail and a fine of $1,000. The revocation status means the individual’s driving privileges had been previously withdrawn due to a prior violation or infraction.
Although jail time is not always enforced for this offense, repeat violations can lead to extended license suspension and more severe legal consequences.
Authorities remind the public that driving with a revoked license is illegal and encourages individuals to follow proper procedures to reinstate their driving privileges before getting behind the wheel.
Further court proceedings will determine the next legal steps in this case.
