Brainerd (trfnews.i234.me) – Patricia Mary Hansen, 70, was booked into Crow Wing County Jail on Saturday, October 31, 2026.
The official jail roster records her booking at 8:38 p.m.
Her booking number is 69306.
The record lists two gross misdemeanor entries involving driving while impaired by alcohol.
Both entries display the status “COURT/PENDING.”
Alcohol-Related DWI Allegation
The first entry concerns allegedly operating a motor vehicle while under the influence of alcohol.
The roster cites Minnesota Statute 169A.20, subdivision 1(1).
That provision prohibits driving, operating, or physically controlling a motor vehicle while under alcohol’s influence.
However, the booking record does not describe the circumstances surrounding Hansen’s alleged offense.
It does not identify the vehicle, explain how police became involved, or document any sobriety testing.
No alcohol concentration or breath test result appears in the supplied information.
Readers can review Minnesota Statute 169A.20 – Driving While Impaired.
Third-Degree DWI Also Listed
The second entry involves third-degree driving while impaired.
The roster cites Minnesota Statute 169A.26, subdivision 1(a).
Under this provision, an impaired-driving allegation reaches the third-degree level when one qualifying aggravating factor is present.
Those factors are defined separately under Minnesota law.
They can include certain previous impaired-driving incidents or a qualifying high alcohol concentration.
However, the jail record does not identify which factor was allegedly present.
It does not establish that Hansen has a previous DWI conviction.
The two entries also do not establish two separate driving incidents.
Readers can review Minnesota Statute 169A.26 – Third-Degree DWI.
Possible Penalties Under Minnesota Law
Third-degree DWI is classified as a gross misdemeanor in Minnesota.
A conviction can generally carry up to 364 days in jail or a $3,000 fine, or both.
Other sentencing requirements may apply depending on the circumstances.
These are possible statutory penalties, not a sentence imposed against Hansen.
The booking record does not establish a conviction or any final sentence.
Court Status Listed as Pending
Both DWI-related entries display “COURT/PENDING” on the official jail roster.
However, the available information does not identify a scheduled court hearing.
It also does not provide a bail amount, release date, or final case outcome.
Additional court records may clarify the allegations and any subsequent proceedings.
Incident Location Not Confirmed
Crow Wing County Jail is located in Brainerd, Minnesota.
However, the jail’s location does not establish where the alleged driving offense occurred.
No roadway, street address, or confirmed traffic stop location appears in the record.
The October 31 booking date should not be treated as the confirmed offense date.

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