Polk County: Lawrence Goodman Jr. Booked for DWI<\/h2>\n

Polk County<\/strong> (trfnews.i234.me<\/a>) \u2014 Lawrence William Goodman Jr. was booked into the Polk County Jail on July 7, 2026.<\/p>\n

The booking entry lists a second-degree driving while impaired charge. Goodman was 24 years old on the reported booking date.<\/p>\n

The charge is listed as a gross misdemeanor. The entry says two or more aggravating factors were present.<\/p>\n

The booking record cites Minnesota Statute 169A.25, subdivision 1(a). The supplied information does not identify those factors.<\/p>\n

Booking Details<\/h2>\n

The record does not describe the events leading to the arrest. It also does not list an alleged crash or injuries.<\/p>\n

No location for the reported driving conduct was provided. The booking information also omits a bond amount.<\/p>\n

A court date was not included in the supplied entry. The record does not state whether Goodman remained in custody.<\/p>\n

A jail booking documents a person\u2019s entry into custody. It does not prove guilt or establish a final case result.<\/p>\n

Understanding the Listed Charge<\/h2>\n

The booking entry identifies the allegation as second-degree DWI. It also labels the offense as a gross misdemeanor.<\/p>\n

Minnesota law addresses second-degree DWI under Statute 169A.25. Readers can review the Minnesota DWI statute<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The listed statute applies when specific aggravating factors are alleged. Those factors depend on the facts of each case.<\/p>\n

The booking entry does not explain which factors were alleged here. That information may appear in later court records.<\/p>\n

Court Records and Case Status<\/h2>\n

Public case information may become available through Minnesota Court Records Online<\/a>. Some records may be limited or delayed.<\/p>\n

Additional records may be requested through the Polk County Sheriff\u2019s Records Department<\/a>. Availability can depend on state law.<\/p>\n

Charges may change after prosecutors review the case. A court may also dismiss or amend charges.<\/p>\n

Goodman is presumed innocent unless proven guilty in court. Readers should use official court records for later updates.<\/p>\n

The booking date may differ from the alleged incident date. The supplied information only confirms the July 7 booking date.<\/p>\n

TRF News will rely on verified records for any future update. No police officer names are included in this report.<\/p>\n
