Polk County: Antonio Atkins Booked in DWI Case
Polk County (trfnews.i234.me) — Antonio Dashon Atkins was booked into the Polk County Jail on July 2, 2026.
The booking information lists one gross misdemeanor traffic charge. The charge alleges refusal to submit to a chemical test.
Atkins was born on August 17, 1995. He was 30 years old on the booking date.
The available summary does not list an arrest location. It also does not identify the agency that started the case.
Charge Cites Minnesota DWI Law
The listed charge cites Minnesota Statute 169A.20, subdivision 2. That law makes certain chemical-test refusals a crime.
The law covers the refusal of a breath test under Minnesota’s impaired-driving procedures. It also addresses some blood or urine tests.
Those blood or urine tests must meet legal requirements, including a search warrant. The full statute is available through the Minnesota Revisor of Statutes.
Booking summaries often contain limited facts. They may not show evidence, witness statements, or the complete arrest report.
Booking Does Not Mean Conviction
The available booking information does not describe the traffic stop. It gives no details about the alleged refusal.
It also does not include a court outcome. A jail booking records an arrest or detention, not a conviction.
Atkins is presumed innocent unless proven guilty in court. The charge remains an allegation unless a court finds otherwise.
Case details may later explain the reported stop and testing request. Future filings may also list hearing dates and release conditions.
No crash details were included in the provided summary. The summary also did not mention injuries or property damage.
