Crookston Booking: Stephney Faces Fourth-Degree DWI<\/h2>\n

CROOKSTON<\/strong> (trfnews.i234.me<\/a>) \u2014 Daniel Joseph Stephney was recently booked into Polk County custody.<\/p>\n

The provided booking entry lists July 6, 2026, as the booking date.<\/p>\n

It lists Stephney\u2019s birth date as December 27, 1980.<\/p>\n

The listed charge is fourth-degree driving while impaired.<\/p>\n

The entry cites Minnesota Statute 169A.27, subdivision 1.<\/p>\n

Booking Entry Provides Limited Details<\/h2>\n

The brief entry does not describe the reported traffic stop.<\/p>\n

It does not list the alleged time, location, or driving conduct.<\/p>\n

No alcohol concentration or drug test result was provided.<\/p>\n

The entry also does not include bond information.<\/p>\n

A first court appearance was not listed.<\/p>\n

Minnesota law classifies fourth-degree DWI as a misdemeanor.<\/p>\n

The cited section applies to a qualifying violation of the state\u2019s DWI law.<\/p>\n

The booking entry does not explain the evidence behind the allegation.<\/p>\n

A criminal complaint may provide more details about the case.<\/p>\n

It may include the stop location, test results, and alleged driving behavior.<\/p>\n

Minnesota DWI Law<\/h2>\n

The booking entry labels the charge as a misdemeanor offense.<\/p>\n

A misdemeanor charge can still carry court penalties after a conviction.<\/p>\n

Possible outcomes depend on the facts, prior record, and court rulings.<\/p>\n

This report does not predict the result of Stephney\u2019s case.<\/p>\n

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

Case Remains Pending<\/h2>\n

A jail booking records a person\u2019s entry into custody.<\/p>\n

It does not prove guilt or confirm a criminal conviction.<\/p>\n

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

The charge could change after prosecutors review reports and evidence.<\/p>\n

A judge may later set release terms and hearing dates.<\/p>\n

Future court records may show motions, hearings, and a final outcome.<\/p>\n

Some documents may not appear online immediately.<\/p>\n

Minnesota Court Records Online<\/a> provides access to many public district court records.<\/p>\n

The Polk County Sheriff\u2019s Office<\/a> also provides county law enforcement information.<\/p>\n

This report is based only on the booking details provided.<\/p>\n

No criminal complaint, incident report, or court order was supplied.<\/p>\n

Official court records should be checked for later updates.<\/p>\n

Those records may clarify the allegation and Stephney\u2019s custody status.<\/p>\n
