Detroit Lakes: Sherlyn Johnson Listed on 3 DWI Counts

DETROIT LAKES (trfnews.i234.me) — Becker County Jail records list Sherlyn Duane Johnson, 62, on three DWI-related entries.

The record gives Sunday, October 25, 2026, as the booking date.

One entry alleges third-degree driving while impaired with one aggravating factor.

Two others concern alleged alcohol impairment and an alcohol concentration of 0.08 or higher.

Third-Degree DWI Listed in Booking Record

That provision addresses driving while impaired when one aggravating factor is present.

Under Minnesota law, third-degree DWI is classified as a gross misdemeanor.

The supplied excerpt does not say which aggravating factor authorities allege was present.

It does not identify a previous conviction, a passenger, or a particular test result.

Those details cannot be assumed from the charge description alone.

This section prohibits operating or controlling a motor vehicle while under the influence of alcohol.

The third entry cites subdivision 1(5) of the same statute.

That provision concerns an alcohol concentration of at least 0.08 while driving or within two hours afterward.

The booking lists an allegation under that provision but provides no actual test measurement.

It also does not describe any roadside investigation, traffic stop, or arrest circumstances.

The excerpt does not identify where the alleged impaired driving occurred.

Detroit Lakes is the location of Becker County Jail, not a verified location for the alleged incident.

No court case number, bail amount, or upcoming hearing appears in the supplied information.

The entry also gives no estimated release date.

A past booking does not establish whether someone remains in custody.

The excerpt provides no outcome for any of the three listed allegations.

The Becker County Sheriff’s Office operates the jail in Detroit Lakes.

The county provides a public in-custody listing, which may change as people enter or leave custody.

The jail lists 218-847-2939 for facility-related questions.

Public court records may be available through Minnesota Court Records Online.

Those court records should be checked before reporting a hearing, conviction, or case outcome.

The allegations in a jail record do not establish guilt.

Johnson is presumed innocent unless proven guilty in court.
