Crookston Booking Follows License Restriction Charge<\/h2>\n

CROOKSTON<\/strong> (trfnews.i234.me<\/a>) \u2014 Jason Joseph Johnson was booked on June 26, 2026.<\/p>\n

The booking record lists a gross misdemeanor driver’s license restriction charge.<\/p>\n

Johnson was 47 years old when the booking was recorded.<\/p>\n

The listed allegation concerns a license restriction tied to alcohol or controlled substances.<\/p>\n

Charge Listed in Booking Record<\/h2>\n

The jail entry cites Minnesota Statute 171.09, subdivision 1(d)(1).<\/p>\n

The current published statute places similar language in subdivision 1(f)(1).<\/p>\n

That section covers driving while violating restrictions printed on a restricted driver’s license.<\/p>\n

An alcohol or controlled substance restriction can carry a gross misdemeanor charge.<\/p>\n

The difference in paragraph labels may reflect an older charging code.<\/p>\n

Official court records should confirm the exact legal citation used in this case.<\/p>\n

The booking summary does not describe the reported traffic stop.<\/p>\n

It also does not list a vehicle, location, test result, or alleged substance.<\/p>\n

What Minnesota Law Says<\/h2>\n

Minnesota allows the state to place safety restrictions on a driver’s license.<\/p>\n

Those limits can address alcohol, controlled substances, vehicle equipment, or other driving conditions.<\/p>\n

A person may face a charge after driving outside the license restrictions.<\/p>\n

The current law classifies an alcohol-related or drug-related restriction violation as a gross misdemeanor.<\/p>\n

Other restriction violations may be charged as misdemeanors.<\/p>\n

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

Booking Is Not Proof of Guilt<\/h2>\n

A jail booking records a person’s entry into custody.<\/p>\n

It does not prove that the accused person committed the alleged offense.<\/p>\n

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

Prosecutors must support any filed charge with evidence.<\/p>\n

A judge may later consider bail, release terms, and future court dates.<\/p>\n

The provided record does not show those details or the final case outcome.<\/p>\n
