Detroit Lakes Jail Lists Connor Kalway on DWI Count

DETROIT LAKES (trfnews.i234.me) — Connor Joseph Kalway, 27, appears in a Becker County Jail booking entry.

The entry is dated October 25, 2026.

The listing names one third-degree driving while impaired allegation involving an aggravating factor.

The offense description cites Minnesota Statute 169A.26, subdivision 1(a).

The booking entry does not explain the traffic stop or identify where the alleged driving occurred.

It also does not identify the aggravating factor noted in the allegation.

Third-Degree DWI Under Minnesota Law

Minnesota Statute 169A.26 addresses third-degree driving while impaired.

Under subdivision 1(a), the offense involves an alleged impaired-driving violation and one aggravating factor.

The law classifies third-degree DWI as a gross misdemeanor.

State law identifies several possible aggravating factors, but the booking record does not specify one.

A qualifying prior impaired-driving incident within ten years is one possible factor.

Another is an alcohol concentration of 0.16 or higher within the period described by law.

Certain situations involving a child passenger may also qualify.

Those examples explain the law. They do not establish which factor authorities allege in Kalway’s case.

Readers can find the legal definitions in Minnesota Statute 169A.03.

Becker County’s supplied jail entry lists Sunday, October 25, 2026, as Kalway’s booking date.

The estimated release date field is blank.

That blank field does not establish whether Kalway remains in custody or has been released.

The excerpt gives no booking time, bail amount, court date, or court case number.

It also does not identify an arresting agency or contain an incident report.

The booking date may differ from the date of the alleged driving offense.

The supplied information does not include a chemical test result or a reported alcohol concentration.

It does not describe Kalway’s driving, statements, or any evidence collected.

The entry also does not confirm whether prosecutors filed a formal charge in court.

No plea, conviction, sentence, or final case result appears in the excerpt.

These details may become available through public court filings or updated jail records.

The Becker County Jail is located at 1428 Stony Road in Detroit Lakes.

Readers can check the county’s in-custody roster for later changes.

They can also search available records through Minnesota Court Records Online.

A jail allegation is not a conviction. Kalway is presumed innocent unless proven guilty in court.
