The charge was filed in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mncourts.gov\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Minnesota District Court<\/a> in Mahnomen County.<\/p>\n<h2>What the Complaint Says<\/h2>\n<p>The complaint says the incident happened on March 21, 2026. The listed charge is a gross misdemeanor under <a href=\"https:\/\/www.revisor.mn.gov\/statutes\/cite\/171.24\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Minnesota Statute 171.24<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>According to the complaint, Alvarado was driving in the City of Mahnomen while his driving privileges were canceled. The filing says he knew, or should have known, about that cancellation.<\/p>\n<p>The maximum penalty listed in the complaint is up to 364 days in jail, a fine of up to $3,000, or both. A charge is only an accusation. It is not a conviction.<\/p>\n<h2>What Happened During the Stop<\/h2>\n<p>According to the probable cause statement, an officer saw a vehicle traveling on U.S. Highway 59 with the front driver\u2019s side headlight not working.<\/p>\n<p>The complaint says the officer followed the vehicle and made a traffic stop near Jefferson Avenue. The vehicle then pulled into the parking lot at <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shootingstarcasino.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Shooting Star Casino<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Authorities identified the vehicle as a white 2001 Dodge Dakota pickup. The driver was identified as Jesse Paul Alvarado.<\/p>\n<p>The complaint says Alvarado told the officer he did not have a valid driver\u2019s license. A records check then showed his driving privileges were canceled as inimical to public safety.<\/p>\n<p>Authorities say Alvarado was arrested without incident. The complaint says he cooperated during the arrest.<\/p>\n<h2>Booking and Release<\/h2>\n<p>The complaint says Alvarado was taken to the Mahnomen County Sheriff\u2019s Office for booking. He was later released.<\/p>\n<p>Authorities also told him the pickup\u2019s license plates would be impounded, according to the complaint. Court records show the case was filed under Mahnomen County Court File No. 44-CR-26-166.<\/p>\n<p>Readers can follow Minnesota court information through the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mncourts.gov\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Minnesota Judicial Branch<\/a>.
