Crookston Booking: Edward Brown Faces DWI Charge<\/h2>\n

CROOKSTON, Minn.<\/strong> (trfnews.i234.me<\/a>) \u2014 Edward Allen Brown was booked into the Polk County Jail on June 24, 2026.<\/p>\n

Booking information provided to TRF News lists Brown’s birth date as August 3, 1973. The record lists one traffic-related charge against him.<\/p>\n

Brown is accused of third-degree driving while impaired. The listed offense includes one aggravating factor. It is classified as a gross misdemeanor under Minnesota law.<\/p>\n

Booking Details<\/h2>\n

The booking entry cites Minnesota Statute 169A.26, subdivision 1(a). That law covers third-degree DWI cases involving one aggravating factor.<\/p>\n

The supplied record does not explain the traffic stop. It also does not identify the claimed aggravating factor. No crash, injury, or property damage was listed.<\/p>\n

What Minnesota Law Says<\/h2>\n

Third-degree DWI is a gross misdemeanor in Minnesota. State law defines several possible aggravating factors.<\/p>\n

They can include a qualified prior impaired-driving incident within ten years. They can also include an alcohol concentration of 0.16 or higher.<\/p>\n

Another possible factor involves a child under age 16 inside the vehicle. The child must be more than 36 months younger.<\/p>\n

The provided booking entry does not state which factor was alleged. Readers should not assume any specific factor applied.<\/p>\n

A gross misdemeanor can carry up to 364 days in jail. It can also carry a fine of up to $3,000.<\/p>\n

Any penalty depends on the case facts and court action. A jail booking does not prove guilt.<\/p>\n

Readers can review Minnesota Statute 169A.26<\/a>. The state’s DWI definitions<\/a> explain aggravating factors.<\/p>\n

Case Status<\/h2>\n

Brown is presumed innocent unless proven guilty in court. A charge is an accusation, not a conviction.<\/p>\n

Further court filings may provide more details. Those records could identify bond terms, hearing dates, and the alleged factor.<\/p>\n

Polk County public safety information is available through the Polk County Sheriff’s Office<\/a>.<\/p>\n
