Ada: April Myogeto Faces Canceled-License Charge

ADA, Minn. (trfnews.i234.me) — April Rae Myogeto, 63, faces a gross misdemeanor charge involving driving after license cancellation.

The charge follows a July 14, 2026, traffic stop in Ada, according to a Norman County criminal complaint.

Prosecutors allege the driver operated a vehicle despite knowing her driving privileges had been canceled as inimical to public safety.

The complaint also contains a name discrepancy that remains unexplained in the supplied document.

Police Observe Vehicle Near Ada Dollar General

According to the complaint, an Ada police officer received information from an off-duty sheriff’s deputy on July 14.

The deputy reported that April Gordon was driving in Ada despite a suspected license cancellation.

The officer began watching a vehicle near the Dollar General store in Ada.

Court documents state that the officer observed only one person inside the vehicle.

The officer followed the vehicle and reported seeing it strike the fog line.

A traffic stop followed.

The complaint identifies the driver during the stop as April Gordon.

Investigators reported confirming that the driver’s license had been canceled as inimical to public safety.

The court document identifies April Rae Myogeto as the defendant in its official case caption.

However, both the charge description and probable cause statement refer to April Gordon.

The complaint does not explain whether Gordon is another name used by Myogeto or whether the document contains an error.

The relationship between the two names has not been independently confirmed.

The case is filed under Norman County District Court number 54-CR-26-216.

Minnesota law allows state officials to cancel or deny driving privileges when a driver presents certain public safety concerns.

The legal designation is known as “inimical to public safety.”

Under Minnesota Statute 171.04, officials can deny a license when continued driving would threaten public safety or welfare.

A separate law makes driving after this type of cancellation a gross misdemeanor when the required legal conditions are met.

Those conditions include having notice, or reasonably being expected to know, that driving privileges were canceled.

The provided complaint does not identify the original reason for the driver’s license cancellation.

It also does not allege impaired driving during the July 14 traffic stop.

A conviction can carry up to 364 days in jail.

The maximum fine is $3,000, or both penalties may be imposed.

These are possible penalties, not a sentence imposed in this case.

The criminal complaint is marked as a summons rather than an arrest warrant.

The provided document does not establish whether the defendant was taken into custody.

No court hearing date or final case disposition appears in the supplied paperwork.

Additional case information may be available through Minnesota Court Records Online.

Readers can search using court file number 54-CR-26-216.

The allegations have not been established as facts in a criminal trial.

Myogeto is presumed innocent of the pending charge unless proven guilty in court.
