Bagley: Brandon Chmielewski Booked on DWI Count<\/h2>\n

Clearwater County<\/strong> (trfnews.i234.me<\/a>) \u2014 Brandon Chmielewski, 42, was booked into the Clearwater County Jail on Friday evening.<\/p>\n

The booking record lists his admission time as 6:10 p.m. on Aug. 14, 2026.<\/p>\n

Jail information lists one DWI allegation under Minnesota Statute 169A.20, subdivision 1(7).<\/p>\n

The listed offense involves operating a motor vehicle with certain controlled substances or metabolites in the body.<\/p>\n

Minnesota law covers Schedule I or Schedule II controlled substances under this section.<\/p>\n

Booking Details<\/h2>\n

The Clearwater County booking information describes the matter as an adult arrest.<\/p>\n

The record provided does not list a conviction or final court outcome.<\/p>\n

It also does not provide details about the traffic stop, testing process, or alleged substance.<\/p>\n

No bond amount or court date was included in the information provided to TRF News.<\/p>\n

Minnesota DWI Law<\/h2>\n

Minnesota’s impaired-driving law includes several ways a person may face a DWI charge.<\/p>\n

This booking cites the controlled-substance provision in subdivision 1(7).<\/p>\n

The statute focuses on certain Schedule I or II substances or their metabolites.<\/p>\n

That allegation is different from an alcohol-concentration allegation.<\/p>\n

Court records may later provide more details about the case and any scheduled hearings.<\/p>\n

People can review Minnesota Statute 169A.20<\/a> through the Minnesota Revisor of Statutes.<\/p>\n

An arrest or jail booking is not a finding of guilt.<\/p>\n

The allegation must be handled through the court process.<\/p>\n

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

TRF News will rely on public records for any later case updates.<\/p>\n
