The case also includes an allegation of refusing to submit to a chemical test.<\/p>\n

Minnesota DWI Refusal Law<\/h2>\n

Under Minnesota law, chemical test refusal can lead to a DWI-related charge.<\/p>\n

State law says second-degree DWI may apply in certain refusal cases.<\/p>\n

The law also considers aggravating factors in some DWI cases.<\/p>\n

Readers can review the statute through the Minnesota Revisor of Statutes<\/a>.<\/p>\n

More jail roster information may be available through the Tri-County Community Corrections local inmate roster<\/a>.<\/p>\n

This report is based on recently released Polk County Jail booking information.<\/p>\n

Additional updates may follow if court records or law enforcement details become available.<\/p>\n
