Dilworth: Gane Bahtiraj Booked on DWI Charges<\/h2>\n

DILWORTH<\/strong> (trfnews.i234.me<\/a>) \u2014 Gane Bahtiraj, 25, was booked into the Clay County Jail on Saturday evening.<\/p>\n

The booking record lists the time as 8:08 p.m. on July 4, 2026.<\/p>\n

The Dilworth Police Department is listed as the arresting agency.<\/p>\n

The public entry does not describe the traffic stop or its location.<\/p>\n

Two Third-Degree DWI Allegations Listed<\/h2>\n

The jail record lists two third-degree driving while impaired allegations.<\/p>\n

One count says one aggravating factor was present.<\/p>\n

The second count lists alcohol as the basis for the DWI allegation.<\/p>\n

The booking record does not identify the aggravating factor.<\/p>\n

It also does not provide an alcohol test result.<\/p>\n

Under Minnesota Statute 169A.26<\/a>, third-degree DWI is a gross misdemeanor.<\/p>\n

The law applies when one aggravating factor was present during an alleged DWI offense.<\/p>\n

State law lists several possible aggravating factors.<\/p>\n

They include a qualifying prior incident, a high alcohol level, or certain child passenger circumstances.<\/p>\n

Few Details Were Available<\/h2>\n

The booking information does not list a vehicle description.<\/p>\n

It does not state whether a crash or injury occurred.<\/p>\n

No court date or bail amount appeared in the information provided.<\/p>\n

The record also does not explain what led officers to make the arrest.<\/p>\n

Readers can check the Clay County inmate roster<\/a> for updated public booking information.<\/p>\n

Clay County warns that roster information may change.<\/p>\n

The county also says an arrest does not establish guilt.<\/p>\n

Case Remains Pending<\/h2>\n

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

The listed charges remain allegations while the case moves through the legal process.<\/p>\n

Prosecutors may later change, dismiss, or formally file charges.<\/p>\n

Those decisions may not appear in the original jail booking entry.<\/p>\n

Current court information may be available through the Minnesota Judicial Branch<\/a>.<\/p>\n

TRF News will update this report when verified case information becomes available.<\/p>\n
