Detroit Lakes Man Charged After Traffic Stop<\/h2>\n

Detroit Lakes<\/strong> (trfnews.i234.me<\/a>) \u2013 A Frazee man is facing charges in Becker County after a traffic stop in Detroit Lakes.<\/p>\n

Cory Thomas Swift, 49, of Frazee, is charged in Becker County District Court. The case was filed under court file number 03-CR-26-876.<\/p>\n

Swift faces one gross misdemeanor count of failing to provide insurance information. He also faces one misdemeanor count of driving after revocation.<\/p>\n

Traffic Stop Reported In Detroit Lakes<\/h2>\n

According to the court complaint, the case began on April 7, 2026. Police said a black Toyota Camry turned from U.S. Highway 10 onto Frazee Street.<\/p>\n

The complaint says the vehicle was seen near Frazee Street and Corbett Road. Police reported the driver was not wearing a seatbelt.<\/p>\n

An officer stopped the vehicle and identified the driver as Cory Thomas Swift. Court documents state Swift\u2019s driving privileges were revoked at the time.<\/p>\n

Insurance Proof Allegation<\/h2>\n

The complaint says Swift could not provide proof that the vehicle was insured. Police said he was given a written request for insurance information.<\/p>\n

Court documents allege Swift did not return the insurance form. Prosecutors cited Minnesota\u2019s insurance law under Minnesota Statute 169.791<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The gross misdemeanor insurance charge carries a maximum sentence of one year in jail. It also carries a possible $3,000 fine.<\/p>\n

The driving after revocation charge was filed under Minnesota Statute 171.24<\/a>. That charge carries up to 90 days in jail. It also carries a possible $1,000 fine.<\/p>\n

Prior Convictions Listed<\/h2>\n

The complaint also lists several prior driving after revocation convictions. Those cases date from 2013 through 2025.<\/p>\n

It also lists prior insurance violations from 2016 and 2019. Prosecutors said those prior cases affect the current insurance charge.<\/p>\n

The charges are accusations at this stage. Swift is presumed innocent unless proven guilty in court.<\/p>\n
