Detroit Lakes: Chrystal Parisian Booked on DWI Charge

DETROIT LAKES (trfnews.i234.me) — Chrystal Dawn Parisian, 48, was booked into the Becker County Jail on Oct. 6, 2026.

Jail records list two driving-related charges connected to the booking.

Parisian faces an allegation of third-degree driving while impaired.

The booking record says one aggravating factor was present.

She also faces a driving after cancellation charge.

No estimated release date was listed in the booking information provided.

Third-Degree DWI Charge

The DWI charge is listed under Minnesota Statute 169A.26, subdivision 1(a).

That law covers third-degree DWI cases involving one aggravating factor.

Minnesota law classifies third-degree DWI under this section as a gross misdemeanor.

The booking record does not state which aggravating factor allegedly applied.

State law lists several possible aggravating factors in DWI cases.

They can include a recent qualified impaired-driving incident.

They can also include an alcohol concentration of 0.16 or higher.

Another factor can involve a qualifying child passenger.

Parisian also faces a charge under Minnesota Statute 171.24, subdivision 5.

The booking record describes the allegation as driving after cancellation, inimical to public safety.

Under that section, the offense is classified as a gross misdemeanor.

The law applies when a person drives after a qualifying license cancellation or denial.

The statute also requires notice, or reason to know, about that cancellation or denial.

The booking information does not describe what led to the arrest.

It does not provide a reported alcohol concentration or test result.

It also does not identify the alleged aggravating factor.

The Becker County Jail is located in Detroit Lakes, Minnesota.

County jail records provide booking information and listed charges for people held at the facility.

A jail booking is not a finding of guilt.

The charges against Parisian remain allegations unless proven in court.

Charges can also change as prosecutors review a case.

Court filings may provide more details about the allegations and future hearing dates.
