Crookston Jail Lists Aaron Ray Judge on Felony DWI

CROOKSTON (trfnews.i234.me) — A regional jail excerpt lists Aaron Ray Judge, 30, with a first-degree DWI allegation.

The supplied record gives Friday, October 23, 2026, as his incarceration date.

The offense references a prior felony DWI conviction under Minnesota Statute 169A.24, subdivision 1(2).

The excerpt does not include a police report explaining the circumstances behind the listing.

First-Degree DWI Listed as Felony

The jail description identifies the offense as first-degree driving while impaired.

It also describes a previous felony DWI conviction as the basis for the first-degree classification.

The entry uses the abbreviation FE, indicating a felony-level offense.

Judge’s date of birth is listed as November 1, 1995.

He was 30 years old on the incarceration date shown in the excerpt.

No other offense appears in the short entry supplied for this article.

Minnesota’s first-degree DWI statute covers certain repeat offenses and cases involving qualifying earlier felony convictions.

Subdivision 1(2) applies when someone accused of a new impaired-driving violation previously received a felony DWI conviction.

The law requires proof of the relevant conditions in court.

Under subdivision 2, first-degree DWI is a felony.

A conviction can carry up to seven years in prison, a $14,000 fine, or both.

Additional mandatory sentencing rules may apply under Minnesota Statute 169A.276.

Those penalties are possible statutory outcomes, not a sentence imposed on Judge.

The excerpt does not identify where an alleged impaired-driving incident happened.

It does not provide a traffic stop narrative, arresting agency, or vehicle description.

No breath, blood, or other chemical test result appears in the record.

The entry also does not identify the case number or date of the alleged prior felony conviction.

That earlier conviction has not been independently confirmed using the information available.

Neither a new criminal complaint nor a scheduled court hearing was supplied.

The Northwest Regional Corrections Center publishes a public inmate roster.

Tri-County Community Corrections says the roster is generally updated on weekday mornings.

A past incarceration date does not confirm that Judge remains in custody.

Readers can also check Minnesota Court Records Online for public case information.

Pending criminal cases may not appear in name searches unless a conviction has been entered.

Additional court records would be needed to confirm any filed charge or eventual outcome.

The jail listing alone does not establish guilt in a new case.

Judge is presumed innocent of the listed allegation unless proven guilty in court.
