Bena Woman Booked on DWI, Open Bottle Allegations<\/h2>\n

Bena<\/strong> (trfnews.i234.me<\/a>) \u2014 Jamie Kay Chase, 38, was booked into the Cass County Jail late Thursday.<\/p>\n

The booking record lists Chase as a resident of Bena, Minnesota.<\/p>\n

It shows a booking time of 11:04 p.m. on July 30, 2026.<\/p>\n

The record lists two alcohol-related allegations.<\/p>\n

One involves driving while impaired by alcohol.<\/p>\n

The other involves possession of an open bottle inside a vehicle.<\/p>\n

Booking Record Lists Two Allegations<\/h2>\n

The DWI allegation cites Minnesota Statute 169A.20, subdivision 1(1)<\/a>.<\/p>\n

That law covers driving, operating, or controlling a motor vehicle while under alcohol’s influence.<\/p>\n

The open bottle allegation cites Minnesota Statute 169A.35, subdivision 3<\/a>.<\/p>\n

That section bars certain opened alcohol containers inside private vehicles on streets or highways.<\/p>\n

State law provides exceptions for containers stored in a vehicle’s trunk.<\/p>\n

Other exceptions may also apply under the statute.<\/p>\n

The booking record does not state where the reported traffic stop occurred.<\/p>\n

It does not provide a blood alcohol result.<\/p>\n

The record also does not describe the vehicle or alleged driving conduct.<\/p>\n

No crash, injuries, or property damage were listed.<\/p>\n

Court Information Was Not Included<\/h2>\n

The supplied entry does not list a court case number.<\/p>\n

It also does not show bond, release terms, or a hearing date.<\/p>\n

Cass County maintains an official detention center and jail page<\/a>.<\/p>\n

That page includes access to the county’s in-custody report.<\/p>\n

Court filings may later appear through Minnesota Court Records Online<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The state service provides access to many public district court records.<\/p>\n

Charges may change after prosecutors review reports and other evidence.<\/p>\n

A judge will decide release terms and future court dates.<\/p>\n

An Arrest Is Not a Conviction<\/h2>\n

A jail booking records an arrest and entry into custody.<\/p>\n

It does not establish guilt.<\/p>\n

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

The allegations remain pending unless resolved through the court process.<\/p>\n

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

It will be updated if verified court records add new details.<\/p>\n
