Crookston Jail Books Aaron Cody Clark in DWI Refusal Case

POLK COUNTY, Minn. (trfnews.i234.me) — Aaron Cody Clark, 38, was booked on October 28, 2026, on a DWI-related test-refusal allegation.

The booking entry lists a gross misdemeanor allegation of refusing to submit to a chemical test. It cites Minnesota Statute 169A.20, subdivision 2, which addresses refusal of certain required tests.

The booking information identifies Clark by his full name and birth date. It does not identify the location of the reported incident or describe the events leading to his booking.

What the Test-Refusal Charge Means

Under Minnesota law, refusing a required chemical test can lead to a criminal charge.

The statute covers certain breath tests and blood or urine tests required by a search warrant.

The brief booking entry does not say which type of test was involved. It also does not report an alcohol level or describe whether any other testing occurred.

State law treats a third-degree DWI test-refusal violation as a gross misdemeanor.

Readers can review the wording in Minnesota Statute 169A.26. The available entry does not identify a specific DWI degree for Clark.
