Detroit Lakes WE Fest Stop Leads to Two Charges

Detroit Lakes (trfnews.i234.me) — Asya Grace Berg faces two charges following an incident at WE Fest.

The incident happened early August 9, 2026, at Viking Campground in Becker County.

Berg also faces a misdemeanor charge for consuming alcohol while under age 21.

According to the complaint, law enforcement was patrolling the campground around 3:06 a.m.

Officers saw two women walking in front of a squad vehicle.

The complaint says Berg was carrying bottles of alcohol at the time.

Authorities also reported that she appeared unsteady while walking.

Investigators believed Berg appeared younger than 21 and stopped to speak with her.

Berg allegedly told law enforcement that she was older than 21.

She also said she did not have identification with her, according to the complaint.

Authorities then asked Berg for her name and birth date.

The complaint alleges Berg gave the name and birth date of another person.

Prosecutors say she continued using that information after being questioned several times.

Law enforcement later detained Berg and again asked for her identity.

The complaint says Berg then provided her real name and birth date.

She allegedly told authorities that the earlier name belonged to her sister.

Minnesota law makes giving another person’s identity to police a gross misdemeanor in certain situations.

The statute is available through the Minnesota Revisor of Statutes.

The complaint says Berg was given a preliminary breath test after her identity was confirmed.

Authorities reported a preliminary reading of .140.

Berg was 19 years old at the time of the alleged offense.

Minnesota law generally prohibits people under 21 from consuming alcohol.

It also carries a possible fine of up to $3,000.

The alcohol charge carries up to 90 days and a possible $1,000 fine.
