Charge Listed in Jail Record

The listed offense is driving after cancellation as inimical to public safety. Minnesota law classifies this offense as a gross misdemeanor.

The law applies when a driving privilege was canceled or denied under a public safety provision. The person must know about that action.

The law also requires that the person drove a vehicle needing a valid license. The booking entry does not describe the alleged traffic stop.

Readers can review Minnesota Statute 171.24 through the Minnesota Revisor of Statutes.

The booking summary does not state where the alleged driving happened. It does not identify the vehicle involved.

The record does not report a crash, injuries, or property damage. It also does not list any other alleged offense.

No court file number was included in the provided information. Bail terms and a hearing date were not listed.

Those details may appear later in court records. Prosecutors will decide whether formal charges move forward.

The Cass County Detention Center provides information about jail services and public custody reports.

A jail booking records an arrest and intake. It does not prove that the accused committed a crime.

Jones is presumed innocent unless proven guilty in court. The state must prove any filed charge beyond a reasonable doubt.

Custody status may change after an initial booking. Court records may also add facts that were unavailable at intake.

The booking record only identifies the alleged license offense. It does not explain why the license was canceled.

TRF News will continue reviewing public records for updates. New information may include charges, hearings, or court decisions.
