Deer River: Kenneth Budreau Booked on DWI Charges<\/h2>\n

Deer River<\/strong> (trfnews.i234.me<\/a>) \u2014 Kenneth James Budreau, 33, was booked into the Cass County Jail early Thursday.<\/p>\n

The booking record lists two driving while impaired allegations involving controlled substances.<\/p>\n

Budreau was booked at 4:44 a.m. on August 20, 2026, according to the information provided.<\/p>\n

DWI Allegations Listed<\/h2>\n

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

That law covers driving when a person\u2019s body contains certain Schedule I or Schedule II controlled substances.<\/p>\n

The statute includes specific exceptions involving cannabis and certain related products.<\/p>\n

The booking entry labels that allegation as third-degree DWI.<\/p>\n

A second allegation was listed under Minnesota Statute 169A.20, subdivision 1(2).<\/p>\n

That section covers operating a motor vehicle while under the influence of a controlled substance.<\/p>\n

Both entries were listed as adult arrest allegations.<\/p>\n

Readers can review the law through the Minnesota Revisor of Statutes<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Cass County Jail Booking<\/h2>\n

The Cass County Sheriff\u2019s Office maintains the county jail in Walker.<\/p>\n

The county provides jail information through its official detention center website<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The supplied booking information does not describe the events leading to Budreau\u2019s arrest.<\/p>\n

It also does not identify the controlled substance involved in the allegations.<\/p>\n

No court disposition, plea, or sentence was included in the supplied booking information.<\/p>\n

The information also does not state whether bail or other release conditions were set.<\/p>\n

Case Remains Pending<\/h2>\n

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

The listed offenses remain allegations unless they are proven in court or admitted through a guilty plea.<\/p>\n

Court records may later provide more information about the case.<\/p>\n

Those records could include a criminal complaint, hearing dates, bail conditions, or other court decisions.<\/p>\n

TRF News will report additional verified details if they become available through public records.<\/p>\n
