Brainerd (trfnews.i234.me) – Michael Gerald Nieters, 55, was booked into Crow Wing County Jail on Thursday, October 1, 2026.
The official jail roster records his booking at 10:57 a.m.
His booking number is 69134.
The record lists four entries involving drug possession, impaired driving, chemical test refusal, and driving after revocation.
One entry is marked “SENTENCED.” The other three display “DIS/NOT GUILTY.”
Chemical Test Refusal Entry Marked Sentenced
The gross misdemeanor entry involves refusing to submit to a chemical test.
The roster cites Minnesota Statute 169A.20, subdivision 2(1).
That provision addresses refusal to submit to a qualifying chemical breath test.
The entry displays the status “SENTENCED.”
However, the jail listing does not provide the actual sentence imposed.
It also does not identify the sentencing date or describe the circumstances surrounding the test request.
Readers can review Minnesota Statute 169A.20 – Driving While Impaired.
Drug Possession Entry Has Different Status
The felony-classified entry involves fifth-degree controlled substance possession.
The roster cites Minnesota Statute 152.025, subdivision 2(a)(1).
This provision concerns unlawful possession of certain Schedule I, II, III, or IV controlled substances.
However, the record does not identify the substance or quantity involved.
Most importantly, this entry displays “DIS/NOT GUILTY,” not “SENTENCED.”
The combined status does not explain whether the charge was dismissed or resulted in an acquittal.
Readers can review Minnesota Statute 152.025 – Fifth-Degree Controlled Substance Crime.
Controlled Substance DWI Entry
Another entry involves allegedly operating a motor vehicle under the influence of a controlled substance.
The roster cites Minnesota Statute 169A.20, subdivision 1(2).
This entry is classified as a misdemeanor and marked “DIS/NOT GUILTY.”
The listing does not identify any substance, testing results, or alleged driving location.
It also does not explain the exact court outcome behind that status.
Driving After Revocation Entry
The fourth entry concerns driving after revocation under Minnesota Statute 171.24, subdivision 2(a).
The law prohibits driving when a license or driving privilege has been revoked and the required notice conditions are met.
This misdemeanor entry also displays “DIS/NOT GUILTY.”
The roster does not explain the disposition or provide an underlying traffic report.
Readers can review Minnesota Statute 171.24 – Driving Without a Valid License.
Understanding the Different Case Statuses
The official roster distinguishes the sentenced chemical test refusal matter from the other three entries.
Those other entries should not be reported as convictions based on this record.
The roster also does not establish whether their dispositions were dismissals or not-guilty findings.
Further court records would be needed to confirm each outcome.
Incident Location Not Confirmed
Crow Wing County Jail is located in Brainerd, Minnesota.
However, the jail’s address does not establish where the underlying events occurred.
No confirmed roadway, residence, or other incident location appears in the booking information.
The October 1 booking date should not be treated as the offense date.
