Becker County: Chantel King Booked on DWI Offense

BECKER COUNTY, MN (trfnews.i234.me) – Chantel Marie King, 34, was booked into the Becker County Jail on Thursday, October 15, 2026.

According to the provided Becker County Jail booking record, King faces two listed offenses involving impaired driving and vehicle insurance requirements.

The DWI offense involves an alcohol concentration of 0.08 or higher within two hours of operating a motor vehicle.

The second offense concerns proof of vehicle insurance when the registered owner was not the driver.

DWI and Insurance Offenses Listed

The booking record identifies King as 34 years old and lists two Minnesota traffic statutes.

The first offense falls under Minnesota Statute 169A.20, subdivision 1(5). This law addresses driving with an alcohol concentration of 0.08 or higher.

The law also covers alcohol measurements taken within two hours of driving or operating a motor vehicle.

The second listed offense falls under Minnesota Statute 169.791, subdivision 4. It concerns vehicle owners who must provide proof of insurance after receiving an official request.

Under this law, an owner who was not driving must provide proof of insurance within ten days of receiving notice.

Failure to meet that requirement can result in a misdemeanor offense.

The booking record does not explain the circumstances behind either listed violation.
