Thief River Falls Man Arrested in License Case<\/h2>\n

THIEF RIVER FALLS<\/strong> \u2014 (trfnews.i234.me)<\/a> \u2014 Police arrested Jared Thomas Swanson, 39, during an early-morning contact on June 26.<\/p>\n

He now faces a charge involving a restricted driver\u2019s license and ignition interlock requirements.<\/p>\n

The charge remains an allegation. Swanson is presumed innocent unless proven guilty in court.<\/p>\n

Early-Morning Police Contact<\/h2>\n

At about 3:26 a.m., police contacted Swanson in the 200 block of St. Paul Avenue South.<\/p>\n

According to the complaint, an officer had been driving behind Swanson\u2019s vehicle.<\/p>\n

The officer reportedly knew Swanson\u2019s driving privileges had been revoked.<\/p>\n

Swanson then parked outside his home, where police spoke with him. He was arrested following the contact.<\/p>\n

The provided complaint summary did not describe a crash or any injuries.<\/p>\n

Swanson Disputes Receiving Notice<\/h2>\n

Swanson allegedly told police he did not know his license had been revoked.<\/p>\n

He also said he had not received notice of the action.<\/p>\n

Court records state the revocation took effect on June 9 after a DWI-related event.<\/p>\n

The complaint also says Swanson needed an ignition interlock device in any vehicle he operated.<\/p>\n

Minnesota\u2019s ignition interlock program uses a breath-testing device connected to a vehicle.<\/p>\n

The device can stop a vehicle from starting when alcohol is detected.<\/p>\n

More details are available from the Minnesota Department of Public Safety<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Earlier DWI-Related Case<\/h2>\n

A Red Lake County deputy handled an earlier DWI-related case involving Swanson on June 2.<\/p>\n

That case included an alleged refusal to submit to chemical testing.<\/p>\n

The deputy later told police that efforts were made to notify Swanson about the revocation.<\/p>\n

However, the deputy said direct notice was not completed at that time.<\/p>\n

The complaint says Swanson was experiencing behavioral issues during the earlier encounter.<\/p>\n

The deputy later faxed the revocation paperwork to the jail holding Swanson.<\/p>\n

Jail staff were asked to place the documents with Swanson\u2019s personal property.<\/p>\n

The complaint says Swanson\u2019s driving record showed that notice was sent on June 9.<\/p>\n

That notice included both the revocation and ignition interlock requirements.<\/p>\n

Case Moves Through Court<\/h2>\n

The filing places the case before the court system.<\/p>\n

No conviction was reported in the complaint information provided for this story.<\/p>\n

Future hearings and filings may add more details about the allegation.<\/p>\n

Prosecutors must prove the charge in court. Swanson may respond through his attorney.<\/p>\n
