Jesse Hall

Bagley (trfnews.i234.me) – Jesse Hall, 55, was booked into Clearwater County Jail on Sunday, November 1, 2026.

The supplied jail record lists his booking time as 8:19 p.m.

The record includes two alcohol-related driving allegations.

One involves third-degree driving while impaired with one aggravating factor.

The second concerns an alcohol concentration of 0.08 or higher within two hours of driving.

Third-Degree DWI Allegation

The first allegation cites Minnesota Statute 169A.26, subdivision 1(a).

Under this law, third-degree driving while impaired requires one qualifying aggravating factor.

Minnesota law classifies third-degree DWI as a gross misdemeanor.

However, the supplied booking record does not identify the aggravating factor in Hall’s case.

It also does not describe the traffic stop or the circumstances surrounding the arrest.

No vehicle description, roadway, or reported crash appears in the information provided.

Readers can review Minnesota Statute 169A.26 – Third-Degree DWI.

Alcohol Concentration Allegation

The second allegation cites Minnesota Statute 169A.20, subdivision 1(5).

That law prohibits operating or controlling a motor vehicle with an alcohol concentration of 0.08 or higher.

The qualifying concentration can be measured during driving or within two hours afterward.

However, the jail record does not provide Hall’s exact alleged alcohol concentration.

It also does not identify the testing method or provide laboratory results.

The two listed charges do not necessarily represent two separate driving incidents.

Readers can review Minnesota Statute 169A.20 – Driving While Impaired.

What Counts as an Aggravating Factor?

Minnesota law identifies several circumstances that can increase the severity of a DWI charge.

These include a qualifying prior impaired-driving incident within ten years.

An alcohol concentration of 0.16 or higher can also qualify.

Another factor involves certain circumstances when a child younger than 16 is inside the vehicle.

However, the booking record does not establish which factor prosecutors may allege against Hall.

Readers can review Minnesota Statute 169A.03 – DWI Definitions.

Possible Penalties Under Minnesota Law

Third-degree DWI is a gross misdemeanor.

A conviction can generally carry up to 364 days in jail or a $3,000 fine, or both.

Additional requirements may apply depending on the case and the person’s driving history.

These are possible penalties, not a sentence imposed against Hall.

Incident Location Not Confirmed

Clearwater County Jail is located in Bagley, Minnesota.

However, the jail’s location does not establish where the alleged impaired driving occurred.

No confirmed highway, street address, or traffic stop location appears in the supplied booking record.

The November 1 booking date also does not establish the alleged offense date.

Jail and Court Information

Readers can visit the official Clearwater County inmate list.

Additional information is available through the Clearwater County Jail website.

Public court information may be available through Minnesota Court Records Online.

The supplied record does not identify a confirmed hearing date or final court outcome.

Presumption of Innocence

A jail booking records allegations and does not establish criminal guilt.

Jesse Hall is presumed innocent unless proven guilty in court.
