Fergus Falls: Kailee Kawlewski Faces DWI, Open Bottle

Fergus Falls (trfnews.i234.me) — Kailee Agatha Kawlewski was booked into Otter Tail County custody on August 31, 2026.

The jail record lists Kawlewski as 28 years old.

Her booking number is listed as 002600000783.

The record shows an active second-degree driving-while-impaired allegation.

An active open-bottle possession entry is also listed.

Second-Degree DWI Allegation

The active DWI allegation is listed under Minnesota Statute 169A.25, subdivision 1(a).

That law applies when two or more aggravating factors are allegedly present.

Minnesota classifies second-degree DWI under this provision as a gross misdemeanor.

The jail record does not identify the alleged aggravating factors.

It also does not provide an alleged alcohol concentration.

No details were provided about where the alleged driving occurred.

The same second-degree DWI entry appears twice in the supplied booking record.

Both entries carry the same statute number and active status.

Readers can review Minnesota Statute 169A.25 for the current law.

The roster also includes two DWI-related entries marked “RPR/Chg Dismiss.”

One alleged operation of a vehicle while under the influence of alcohol.

The other involved an alleged alcohol concentration of 0.08 or more.

Those entries are not listed as active in the information provided.

They should not be reported as pending charges based on this roster.

Minnesota’s general DWI law is available under Statute 169A.20.

Kawlewski also has an active entry under Minnesota Statute 169A.35, subdivision 3.

The law prohibits certain opened alcohol containers inside private vehicles on public roads.

The booking record labels this entry as a gross misdemeanor.

However, current Minnesota law states a violation of subdivision 3 is a misdemeanor.

Court records should determine the formal charge classification in this case.

The Otter Tail County Jail is located in Fergus Falls.

Kawlewski’s booking status is listed as active.

No court date or bail amount was included in the information provided.

Readers can visit the Otter Tail County Jail website for facility information.

A jail booking does not establish guilt.

The active allegations remain pending unless resolved through the court process.

Kawlewski is presumed innocent unless proven guilty in court.
