Charge Listed as a Felony<\/h2>\n

Minnesota law<\/a> classifies first-degree DWI as a felony.<\/p>\n

The statute covers several conditions involving prior impaired-driving incidents or felony convictions.<\/p>\n

The charge listed for Sather specifically cites the prior-incident provision.<\/p>\n

The jail entry does not provide details about the reported traffic stop.<\/p>\n

State law allows up to seven years in prison for a first-degree DWI conviction.<\/p>\n

It also allows a fine of up to $14,000.<\/p>\n

Those are maximum penalties under the law.<\/p>\n

Any sentence would depend on the case and the court\u2019s final decision.<\/p>\n

The booking entry does not list the location or circumstances of the alleged offense.<\/p>\n

Case Information<\/h2>\n

Readers can find general custody information on the Becker County Jail website<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Court updates may appear on the Becker County District Court<\/a>.<\/p>\n

A jail booking is not a conviction.<\/p>\n

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