OTTER TAIL COUNTY<\/strong> (trfnews.i234.me<\/a>) \u2014 Dustin Lee Pomeranz, 38, entered the county jail Sunday.<\/p>\n

The jail roster lists his intake date as June 21, 2026. It shows booking number 002600000546.<\/p>\n

The Otter Tail County Jail<\/a> is located at 416 South Mill Street in Fergus Falls.<\/p>\n

Charges Listed in Jail Roster<\/h2>\n

The roster lists one misdemeanor count and two active gross misdemeanor counts.<\/p>\n

The misdemeanor entry cites Minnesota Statute 169A.35, subdivision 3<\/a>. The roster describes the count as open bottle possession.<\/p>\n

Minnesota law bars possession of an open alcoholic beverage container in certain motor vehicles. The statute includes several exceptions.<\/p>\n

The second entry cites Minnesota Statute 169A.25, subdivision 1(a)<\/a>. It lists second-degree driving while impaired.<\/p>\n

The roster states that two or more aggravating factors were allegedly present.<\/p>\n

State law classifies that form of second-degree DWI as a gross misdemeanor.<\/p>\n

The third entry cites Minnesota Statute 169A.20, subdivision 1(1)<\/a>. It alleges operation of a motor vehicle under the influence of alcohol.<\/p>\n

Limited Details Released<\/h2>\n

The booking entry did not list a bond amount for Pomeranz.<\/p>\n

It also did not describe the traffic stop or the reported events before booking.<\/p>\n

The roster did not identify the alleged incident location. It also did not provide vehicle details.<\/p>\n

No police officer names are included in this report.<\/p>\n

The county updates its online custody list every two hours. That list may change as cases move through court.<\/p>\n

Readers can review the official Otter Tail County custody list<\/a> for current jail status.<\/p>\n

Court information may later become available through Minnesota Court Records Online<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Charges Are Allegations<\/h2>\n

A jail booking does not prove guilt. The listed counts remain allegations unless proven in court.<\/p>\n

Pomeranz is presumed innocent unless a court finds him guilty.<\/p>\n

The booking information reflects the county roster available on June 21, 2026. Charges and custody status can change.<\/p>\n
