ROSEAU, Minn. (trfnews.i234.me) — Matthew T. Kuzel-Melgaard, 34, was booked into the Roseau County Jail on Saturday, October 31, 2026.

The booking entry lists a fourth-degree driving while impaired allegation and a misdemeanor warrant.

The Minnesota State Patrol is identified as the arresting agency. Both entries are associated with Roseau County Court.

Kuzel-Melgaard Listed on Fourth-Degree DWI

The first listed driving offense involves fourth-degree driving while impaired, commonly known as DWI.

Under Minnesota Statute 169A.27, fourth-degree DWI is classified as a misdemeanor.

Minnesota law prohibits driving or operating a motor vehicle while under the influence of alcohol or certain substances.

However, the booking record does not identify what allegedly caused the impairment.

The information does not include a breath test result, blood alcohol concentration, or chemical test findings.

It also does not identify where the alleged driving violation occurred.

No accident, traffic stop location, or additional incident details appear in the supplied record.

Misdemeanor Warrant Also Listed

The second entry identifies a misdemeanor warrant associated with Roseau County Court.

The record does not explain why the warrant was issued or identify its underlying case.

A warrant may authorize an arrest under a court order.

However, the available information does not establish whether the warrant relates to the DWI allegation.

Additional court documents would be needed to confirm the warrant’s purpose.
