Detroit Lakes: Kyle Schlicht Booked on DWI Charge

DETROIT LAKES (trfnews.i234.me) — Kyle Robert Schlicht, 39, was booked into the Becker County Jail on October 6, 2026.

Jail records list one driving while impaired charge connected to Schlicht’s booking.

The charge is third-degree driving while impaired with one aggravating factor.

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

Third-Degree DWI Charge Listed

Schlicht faces a charge under Minnesota Statute 169A.26, subdivision 1(a).

The law covers impaired driving cases where one aggravating factor was present.

Third-degree DWI under this section is classified as a gross misdemeanor.

The booking record does not identify which aggravating factor allegedly applied in Schlicht’s case.

Minnesota law defines several possible DWI aggravating factors.

One is a qualified impaired-driving incident during the previous 10 years.

Another aggravating factor is an alcohol concentration of 0.16 or higher.

The measurement must meet the timing requirements listed in Minnesota law.

A qualifying child passenger can also count as an aggravating factor.

That provision involves a child under age 16 who meets the required age difference.

The jail record does not provide a reported alcohol concentration.

It also does not state whether a prior impaired-driving incident was involved.

No information about a passenger was included in the booking details provided.

The booking information does not describe the events leading to Schlicht’s arrest.

It also does not provide details about any traffic stop or chemical testing.

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

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

A jail booking does not mean a person has been convicted.

The charge against Schlicht remains an allegation unless proven in court.

The charge could also change as prosecutors review the case.

Future court filings may provide more information about the allegation and scheduled hearings.
