Crookston: Danaiah Goodwin in Felony Drug Booking
CROOKSTON (trfnews.i234.me) — Danaiah Rose Goodwin, 23, appears in a jail booking entry dated October 9, 2026.
The entry lists a felony allegation involving third-degree controlled substance possession under Minnesota Statute 152.023.
Goodwin’s date of birth is listed as February 14, 2003. The booking description refers to possession of 10 grams or more of a narcotic substance.
The supplied record does not identify the substance involved. It also does not explain the events that led to the reported booking.
No incident location, arrest time, or additional circumstances were included in the available information.
Details of the Third-Degree Drug Allegation
Minnesota law classifies third-degree controlled substance crimes as felony offenses.
These offenses can involve unlawful possession of certain amounts of controlled substances. The specific drug and quantity determine which provision of the law applies.
The booking description references 10 grams or more of a narcotic substance, excluding cocaine and heroin.
However, the cited statutory subsection differs from that description under current Minnesota law.
Subdivision 2(a)(2) addresses specified quantities of heroin or fentanyl. A separate provision addresses 10 grams or more of other narcotic drugs.
The exact legal basis for Goodwin’s listed allegation remains unclear from the supplied entry.
Under the statute, a third-degree controlled substance conviction can carry up to 20 years in prison.
The law also allows a fine of up to $250,000, or both imprisonment and a fine.
These are maximum penalties, not a prediction of any sentence.
Readers can review Minnesota Statute 152.023 for the full legal requirements.
Questions Remain About the Reported Booking
The available entry does not explain where the alleged possession occurred. It also does not identify any additional allegations.
No information was provided about a search, traffic stop, investigation, or laboratory testing.
The supplied record does not list a court date, bond amount, case number, or current custody status.
It also does not establish whether prosecutors have filed a formal criminal complaint.
A booking record does not establish guilt. Goodwin is presumed innocent unless and until proven guilty in court.
