CROOKSTON (trfnews.i234.me) — A regional jail entry lists Rodney Galen Renville, 31, on a third-degree DWI allegation.

The jail entry uses the abbreviation GM, meaning gross misdemeanor.

The document contains no narrative describing a traffic stop or the circumstances surrounding the allegation.

It also does not identify an arresting agency, vehicle, or specific road.

The incarceration date should not be mistaken for a confirmed date of the alleged driving incident.

What Minnesota’s Third-Degree DWI Law Says

Minnesota Statute 169A.26 governs third-degree driving while impaired.

Subdivision 1(a) applies to a qualifying DWI offense involving one aggravating factor.

The statute classifies third-degree DWI as a gross misdemeanor.

Possible penalties depend on the applicable sentencing laws and any findings made by the court.

The jail listing does not establish that a judge imposed any sentence on Renville.

Aggravating Factor Has Not Been Identified

Minnesota Statute 169A.03 describes qualifying aggravating factors in impaired-driving cases.

They include certain prior impaired-driving incidents within ten years.

Another possible factor is a measured alcohol concentration of at least 0.16.

A qualifying child passenger may also count as an aggravating factor under specified conditions.

These are examples from the law, not established facts about Renville.
