Brainerd (trfnews.i234.me) – Jeffrey Jay Max, 51, was booked into Crow Wing County Jail on Wednesday, October 14, 2026.
The official jail roster records his booking at 3:04 p.m.
His booking number is 69219.
The record lists two entries involving first-degree controlled substance sales and driving while impaired.
Both entries display the custody status “SENTENCED.”
First-Degree Drug Sale Entry
The first entry involves a felony first-degree controlled substance sale offense.
The Crow Wing County inmate roster describes the offense as a sale involving 50 grams or more.
The record cites Minnesota Statute 152.021, subdivision 1(4).
That provision applies to certain narcotic drugs other than cocaine, heroin, fentanyl, or methamphetamine.
However, the jail record does not identify the specific substance involved in Max’s case.
It also does not provide the actual quantity or describe any reported transactions.
What Minnesota Drug Law Says
Minnesota Statute 152.021 defines first-degree controlled substance crimes.
Under subdivision 1(4), the law covers certain unlawful sales totaling 50 grams or more within 90 days.
The qualifying mixtures must contain a narcotic drug covered by that provision.
A basic conviction can carry up to 30 years in prison or a $1 million fine.
The law allows both penalties, and different rules may apply under qualifying circumstances.
However, these statutory limits are not Max’s confirmed sentence.
Readers can review Minnesota Statute 152.021 – First-Degree Controlled Substance Crime.
Controlled Substance DWI Entry
The second entry involves driving while impaired by a controlled substance.
The roster cites Minnesota Statute 169A.20, subdivision 1(2).
This provision prohibits driving, operating, or physically controlling a motor vehicle while under a controlled substance’s influence.
The entry is classified as a misdemeanor.
However, the jail record does not identify the controlled substance involved.
It also does not describe the driving incident or provide any testing results.
No confirmed roadway, traffic stop location, or incident date appears in the booking information.

Additional court records would be needed to confirm the specific legal outcomes.
