Minnesota Statute 169A.25 describes second-degree DWI as a gross misdemeanor.

The statute connects that charge with specific aggravating factors.

The booking record did not identify the alleged factors in this case.

More details could appear in a criminal complaint or a later court filing.

The record did not list a court date, bail amount, or case number.

It also did not show whether Aamodt remained in custody on Monday.

Readers can check the Clay County inmate roster for updated custody information.

The county warns that roster information can change or contain errors.

The county also says the information should not support legal action.

Public court filings may later appear through Minnesota Court Records Online.

Those records may include hearing dates, charging documents, and case updates.

An arrest is not a finding of guilt.

Aamodt is presumed innocent unless proven guilty in court.

Charges may be changed, amended, or dismissed as a case moves forward.
