DETROIT LAKES<\/strong> (trfnews.i234.me<\/a>) \u2014 Cody Allen James, 39, was booked into the Becker County Jail on Saturday.<\/p>\n

Third-Degree DWI Allegation<\/h2>\n

The booking record describes the offense as third-degree driving while impaired.<\/p>\n

It also states that one aggravating factor was allegedly present.<\/p>\n

The booking information does not identify that alleged aggravating factor.<\/p>\n

Minnesota law classifies third-degree DWI under this section as a gross misdemeanor.<\/p>\n

Readers can review Minnesota Statute 169A.26<\/a> through the Minnesota Revisor of Statutes.<\/p>\n

Dangerous Weapon Allegation<\/h2>\n

The second listed offense cites Minnesota Statute 609.66, subdivision 1(a)(1).<\/p>\n

The statute addresses reckless handling or use of a gun or other dangerous weapon.<\/p>\n

It also covers explosives when the alleged conduct endangers another person’s safety.<\/p>\n

No police officer names are included in this report.<\/p>\n

Information about the facility is available through the Becker County Jail<\/a> website.<\/p>\n

Charges Remain Allegations<\/h2>\n

A jail booking does not establish guilt.<\/p>\n

The listed offenses remain allegations unless proven through the court process.<\/p>\n

James is presumed innocent unless found guilty in court.<\/p>\n

Future court filings could provide more information about the allegations.<\/p>\n

Charges may also be changed or dismissed as the case moves forward.<\/p>\n
