Fergus Falls Jail Booking: Kayla Hedlund Faces DWI Counts<\/h2>\n

Fergus Falls<\/strong> (trfnews.i234.me<\/a>) \u2014 Kayla Mae Hedlund, 36, was booked into the Otter Tail County Jail. Her booking date is August 19, 2026.<\/p>\n

The jail is in Fergus Falls. The roster does not identify the alleged driving location.<\/p>\n

The county jail roster lists two active gross misdemeanor DWI charges against Hedlund. Both charges are filed under Minnesota’s impaired-driving law.<\/p>\n

Two DWI Allegations Listed<\/h2>\n

The first charge cites Minnesota Statute 169A.20, subdivision 1(1). That provision covers driving, operating, or controlling a vehicle while under alcohol’s influence.<\/p>\n

The second charge cites Minnesota Statute 169A.20, subdivision 1(5). That provision applies when alcohol concentration is 0.08 or higher within two hours.<\/p>\n

The two counts describe different ways prosecutors may allege impaired driving. One focuses on alcohol influence while operating a vehicle.<\/p>\n

The other focuses on a measured alcohol concentration. Minnesota law sets the listed threshold at 0.08.<\/p>\n

Otter Tail County records list Hedlund’s booking number as 002600000742. The roster also lists both DWI matters as active.<\/p>\n

Booking Took Place in Fergus Falls<\/h2>\n

The Otter Tail County Jail is located at 416 South Mill Street in Fergus Falls. The jail houses sentenced and unsentenced prisoners.<\/p>\n

Readers can view the county’s current jail custody list<\/a> online.<\/p>\n

The county says inmate information on that page is public data. The list can change as custody status and court matters change.<\/p>\n

Minnesota’s DWI law is available through the Minnesota Revisor of Statutes<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Charges Remain Pending<\/h2>\n

A jail booking does not establish guilt. The listed charges remain allegations unless proven in court.<\/p>\n

The roster provided no narrative about the traffic stop. It also did not list the alleged driving location.<\/p>\n

The public roster entry did not show a bond amount beside Hedlund’s listed charges. That information may change after court review.<\/p>\n

No police officer names are included in this report. Additional court information may become available as the case moves forward.<\/p>\n

TRF News will update this report if public court records provide more details.<\/p>\n
