The supplied information does not state why the charge received that degree. It does not include testing details.

Wilkin County listed a first-degree DWI charge involving an alleged test result of .08 or higher.

The booking record does not provide the exact result. It also does not explain the first-degree classification.

A formal criminal complaint may provide more details. Court filings may explain factors affecting the charge level.

Information about the agency is available through the Wilkin County Sheriff’s Office.

Current custody information may appear through the Clay County inmate roster.

Roster information can change after release, transfer, or court action. A booking listing is not a final court record.

Public case records may be available through Minnesota Court Records Online.

Some documents may not appear immediately. Filed complaints provide the best source for confirmed case details.

A jail booking does not establish guilt. It only records that a person was processed into custody.

Ondieki is presumed innocent unless proven guilty in court.

Prosecutors may amend, reduce, or dismiss the listed charges. A judge or jury may later decide the case.
