Callaway (trfnews.i234.me) — A Mahnomen man is facing a gross misdemeanor charge in Becker County District Court.
Luke Aaron Irwin is charged with driving after cancellation as being inimical to public safety.
The charge was filed in Becker County District Court, 7th Judicial District. The court file number is 03-CR-26-557.
According to the complaint, the alleged offense happened on March 14, 2026, in Callaway, Minnesota.
Traffic Stop Alleged On Highway 59
Court documents say a Callaway officer saw a red 2003 Buick Century traveling north on Highway 59.
The officer believed the driver was Luke Aaron Irwin, based on prior booking photos.
The complaint states the vehicle later stopped at the Callaway liquor store.
Authorities say Irwin exited the vehicle after it stopped.
The officer then made contact with Irwin and identified him as the driver.
License Status Cited In Complaint
The complaint says a records check was completed through the Minnesota Department of Public Safety.
That check allegedly showed Irwin’s driving privileges were canceled.
The complaint says the cancellation was listed as inimical to public safety.
Under Minnesota Statute 171.24, that offense can be charged as a gross misdemeanor.
The charge carries a maximum sentence of 364 days in jail, a $3,000 fine, or both.
Court records also state Irwin had a prior conviction for the same type of offense in 2021.
The complaint further alleges he has three pending cases in Becker and Otter Tail counties.
Those pending cases also involve driving after cancellation as being inimical to public safety.
