The record lists a misdemeanor allegation involving the display of a canceled, revoked, or suspended driver’s license as valid.

Shnyder Listed on Driver’s License Violation
According to the supplied jail information, Shnyder was booked Thursday, October 29, 2026.
His date of birth is listed as May 11, 1955, making him 71 years old.
The listed offense concerns presenting a driver’s license as valid when driving privileges have been withdrawn.

However, the entry does not explain the circumstances surrounding the alleged violation.

What Minnesota Law Says About Invalid Licenses
Under Minnesota Statute 171.22, displaying certain invalid driver’s licenses as valid is prohibited.
Subdivision 1(9) specifically addresses canceled, revoked, and suspended driver’s licenses.
Minnesota law allows someone with withdrawn driving privileges to display that license for identification purposes only.
However, displaying the license as valid driving authorization can result in a criminal charge.

The maximum standard penalty for a Minnesota misdemeanor is generally 90 days in jail, a $1,000 fine, or both.
The listing does not establish that Shnyder was driving when the alleged violation occurred.
