It lists one alleged fourth-degree driving while impaired offense.<\/p>\n<p>The entry cites Minnesota Statute 169A.27, subdivision 1. The register classifies the matter as an adult arrest. It does not state that a conviction has occurred.<\/p>\n<p>No police officers&#8217; names appear in the public booking record. The record does not describe the traffic stop or its location.<\/p>\n<p>It also provides no crash, injury, vehicle, or chemical testing details.

The law applies to certain alleged violations of the state\u2019s impaired-driving statute.<\/p>\n<p>A jail booking does not prove guilt. Myklebust is presumed innocent unless proven guilty in court. The charge remains an allegation while the legal process continues.<\/p>\n<p>The public roster did not include a court date. It also did not list any release conditions or bail information. Those details may appear later in public court records.<\/p>\n<p>Readers can review <a href=\"https:\/\/publicaccess.courts.state.mn.us\/CaseSearch\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Minnesota Court Records Online<\/a> for case updates.
