Charge Information<\/h2>\n

Minnesota law addresses motor vehicle fleeing under Section 609.487<\/a>. The official statute explains the offense and possible penalties.<\/p>\n

The exact penalty depends on the facts and any court findings. The booking information does not state where the alleged incident happened.<\/p>\n

It also does not list injuries, property damage, or additional charges. No court case number was included in the information provided.<\/p>\n

A first court date was also not listed. More details may become available through court records.<\/p>\n

Case Status<\/h2>\n

A jail booking is not a finding of guilt. Caughey is presumed innocent unless proven guilty in court.<\/p>\n

Charges can be changed, reduced, or dismissed as a case moves forward. Court records may later provide more details.<\/p>\n

The Becker County Jail<\/a> is in Detroit Lakes. The facility houses people awaiting court action and others serving local sentences.<\/p>\n
