FERGUS FALLS, Minn. (trfnews.i234.me<\/a>)<\/strong> \u2014 Kailee Agatha Kawlewski, 28, was booked into the Otter Tail County Jail on July 30, 2026.<\/p>\n

The county custody roster lists three active charges against Kawlewski. The allegations include second-degree DWI, open bottle possession, and felony child endangerment.<\/p>\n

Second-Degree DWI Charge<\/h2>\n

The gross misdemeanor DWI charge cites Minnesota Statute 169A.25, subdivision 1(a)<\/a>. That law covers DWI cases involving two or more aggravating factors.<\/p>\n

Minnesota law<\/a> lists three possible aggravating factors. They include a recent impaired-driving incident, a 0.16 alcohol concentration, or a qualifying child passenger.<\/p>\n

The booking record does not identify the alleged aggravating factors. It also provides no details about testing or the traffic stop.<\/p>\n

Second-degree DWI is a gross misdemeanor under Minnesota law. Any penalty would depend on court findings and the complete case record.<\/p>\n

Open Bottle Allegation<\/h2>\n

Kawlewski also faces a misdemeanor charge under Minnesota’s open bottle law. The cited law covers opened alcohol containers inside certain private vehicles on public roads.<\/p>\n

The roster does not state where an alleged container was found. It also does not identify who allegedly owned or handled it.<\/p>\n

More information about the law appears under Minnesota Statute 169A.35<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Child Endangerment Charge<\/h2>\n

The third charge is felony child endangerment under Minnesota Statute 609.378<\/a>. The roster describes a situation allegedly likely to cause serious harm or death.<\/p>\n

The listing also alleges substantial physical or emotional harm resulted. The public roster gives no further information about the reported harm.<\/p>\n

TRF News is withholding any details that could identify a child. The booking record does not list the alleged incident location.<\/p>\n

Court And Jail Information<\/h2>\n

A district court calendar listed Kawlewski for a first appearance on July 31. The calendar lists case number 56-CR-26-1868.<\/p>\n

The Fergus Falls dateline reflects the county jail and court location. It does not identify the alleged incident location.<\/p>\n

Kawlewski’s jail booking number is 002600000685. The roster listed all three charges as active when reviewed.<\/p>\n

Current custody information is available through the Otter Tail County Jail custody list<\/a>. Court schedules and custody records can change without notice.<\/p>\n

A jail booking does not establish guilt. Every charge remains an allegation unless proven in court.<\/p>\n
