The charges involve an alleged ignition interlock violation, failure to provide insurance proof, and driving after revocation.

Trooper Reports Pickup Traveling 79 MPH

According to the criminal complaint, a Minnesota State Patrol trooper was patrolling Highway 371 on November 10, 2026.

At approximately 8:03 a.m., the trooper observed a black Ford F-150 traveling southbound.

The pickup was south of County Road 66 in Cass County.

The trooper reported the vehicle traveling 79 mph in a posted 60 mph zone.

A traffic stop was conducted, and the driver was identified as White.

During the stop, the trooper asked White to provide proof of vehicle insurance.

According to the complaint, White was unable to provide the requested documentation.

A driver’s license check also revealed that her driving privileges were revoked.

Investigators reported that her license carried an ignition interlock restriction.

Under that restriction, an approved ignition interlock device was required for vehicle operation.

The trooper reported that the Ford F-150 did not have the required device installed.

The complaint does not allege that White was impaired during the traffic stop.

Prosecutors charged White with violating a driver’s license restriction involving an ignition interlock device.

The gross misdemeanor charge cites Minnesota Statute 171.09.

That count carries a maximum penalty of 364 days in jail, a $3,000 fine, or both.

The second charge involves failing to provide proof of insurance when requested by law enforcement.

The third charge alleges driving after license revocation under Minnesota Statute 171.24.

Both misdemeanor counts carry maximum penalties of 90 days in jail, a $1,000 fine, or both.

All three charges stem from the November 10 traffic stop.

Although speeding prompted the stop, the complaint does not list a separate speeding charge.

The case is filed in Minnesota’s Ninth Judicial District.
