Charge Listed in Booking Record

That section covers third-degree DWI involving an alleged chemical-test refusal.
Minnesota law classifies third-degree DWI as a gross misdemeanor.

The related test-refusal law covers certain breath tests.
It also covers blood or urine tests required through a search warrant.
The booking entry does not identify which test was allegedly refused.
It also does not describe the events before Olson’s arrest.
No vehicle details, test results, or incident location were included.
The record does not identify any other listed charges.

Booking Records Have Limits
A jail booking confirms that a person has entered custody.
It does not prove the allegations listed in the record.
Jail rosters may change after court hearings or release decisions.
New details may appear as the case moves forward.
The public record may later include court dates and case documents.
None of those details appeared in the supplied information.
Olson is presumed innocent unless proven guilty in court.
