Third-Degree DWI Allegation
According to the booking information, Haynes is listed under Minnesota Statute 169A.26, subdivision 1(a).

What Counts as an Aggravating Factor?

One involves a qualifying previous impaired-driving incident within the past ten years.
Another involves an alcohol concentration of 0.16 or higher within the legally specified testing period.
A third involves a child younger than 16 being present in the vehicle.
For that factor, the child must also be more than 36 months younger than the driver.
