Detroit Lakes: Peter Anderson Booked on DWI Charge

Becker County (trfnews.i234.me) — Becker County booking records show Peter Michael Anderson, 38, was booked Friday, August 7, 2026. Anderson was booked into the Becker County Jail in Detroit Lakes.

Fourth-Degree DWI Allegation

The booking lists one alleged offense. It cites Minnesota Statute 169A.27.1 for fourth-degree driving while impaired.

Minnesota law describes fourth-degree DWI as a misdemeanor offense. The statute applies when a person violates the state’s basic DWI law.

The booking information provided to TRF News does not describe the traffic stop. It also does not state where the alleged driving conduct happened.

No estimated release date was listed in the booking information. The record also did not include a court date.

Booking Details

The provided booking entry lists Anderson’s age as 38. It does not provide details about testing, alcohol concentration, or field sobriety checks.

The entry also does not identify any crash, injury, or property damage. Those details should not be assumed from the booking charge alone.

The Becker County Sheriff’s Office operates the county jail in Detroit Lakes. The jail holds both sentenced and pre-sentenced inmates.

Anderson’s booking reflects an arrest and an allegation. A jail booking does not mean a person has been convicted.

Case Information May Change

Additional information may become available through court records or later jail updates. Those records can include charging documents, hearing dates, and case status.

Readers can review Minnesota’s fourth-degree DWI law through the Minnesota Revisor of Statutes.

Becker County also provides information through the Becker County Sheriff’s Office and Jail.

TRF News reports jail bookings using information available at the time of publication. Details can change as a case moves through court.

Anyone charged with a crime is presumed innocent unless proven guilty in court. The listed offense remains an allegation unless a conviction occurs.

TRF News will update this report if verified public information becomes available. Updates may include court filings, release information, or charge changes.
