Minnesota DWI Law<\/h2>\n

Minnesota defines driving while impaired under Minnesota Statute 169A.20<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The law includes an alcohol concentration of 0.08 or higher.<\/p>\n

The measurement may be taken while driving or within two hours.<\/p>\n

First-degree DWI is addressed under Minnesota Statute 169A.24<\/a>.<\/p>\n

That classification can depend on prior impaired-driving history or certain earlier convictions.<\/p>\n

The booking entry does not explain the basis for the first-degree classification.<\/p>\n

A filed criminal complaint may provide more information about the allegation.<\/p>\n

Public Records and Case Status<\/h2>\n

The supplied information does not include a court file number.<\/p>\n

It also does not list bond terms, release conditions, or a hearing date.<\/p>\n

Current custody details may appear on the Clay County inmate roster<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Roster information may change after release, transfer, or court action.<\/p>\n

Public case documents may appear through Minnesota Court Records Online<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Some court documents may not appear immediately after a booking.<\/p>\n

Agency information is available through the Clay County Sheriff\u2019s Office<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Presumption of Innocence<\/h2>\n

A jail booking does not establish guilt.<\/p>\n

It records that a person was processed into custody.<\/p>\n

Wallace is presumed innocent unless proven guilty in court.<\/p>\n

Prosecutors may amend, reduce, or dismiss the listed allegation.<\/p>\n

A judge or jury may later determine the case outcome.<\/p>\n

This report is based only on the supplied booking information.<\/p>\n

It may be updated when verified court records provide more details.<\/p>\n
