Minnesota Statute 171.24 covers driving without a valid license.

Subdivision 5 addresses certain drivers whose licenses have been canceled or denied.

The provision applies when the driver knew, or reasonably should have known, about the cancellation.

It also requires alleged operation of a vehicle requiring a driver’s license.

A violation of subdivision 5 is classified as a gross misdemeanor.

The roster describes Johnson’s status as cancellation involving public-safety concerns.

The jail information does not explain the history behind that license status.

It also does not identify any earlier driving case connected to the cancellation.

A Minnesota gross misdemeanor can carry up to 364 days in jail.

It can also carry a fine of up to $3,000.

Those general limits appear under Minnesota Statute 609.03.

Those are maximum penalties and do not represent a sentence in Johnson’s case.

The exact outcome depends on the evidence, court rulings, and any final case resolution.

Johnson is presumed innocent unless proven guilty in court.
