Fergus Falls: Jessica Bearinger Serving DWI Sentence<\/h2>\n

Bearinger is listed as 44 years old in the public custody information.<\/p>\n

The record identifies her status as sentenced.<\/p>\n

Her listed offense is a gross misdemeanor driving while impaired violation.<\/p>\n

The record cites Minnesota Statute 169A.20, subdivision 1(5).<\/p>\n

DWI Case Involves 0.08 Alcohol Threshold<\/h2>\n

The cited Minnesota law covers driving with an alcohol concentration of 0.08 or higher.<\/p>\n

The measurement can occur while driving or within two hours afterward.<\/p>\n

The law also applies to operating or being in physical control of a motor vehicle.<\/p>\n

The public booking information does not provide Bearinger’s exact reported alcohol concentration.<\/p>\n

It also does not describe the circumstances surrounding the original DWI case.<\/p>\n

No location for the underlying driving incident appears in the information provided.<\/p>\n

Record Lists Bearinger as Sentenced<\/h2>\n

The jail record differs from a new pending-charge booking because Bearinger is listed as sentenced.<\/p>\n

The available entry does not state the full length of her sentence.<\/p>\n

It also does not provide a listed release date in the information provided.<\/p>\n

The record includes identification number 002600000748.<\/p>\n

Custody records can change as sentences are completed or jail status changes.<\/p>\n

Otter Tail County Jail<\/h2>\n

The Otter Tail County Jail is located at 416 South Mill Street in Fergus Falls.<\/p>\n

The county says the facility holds both sentenced and unsentenced inmates.<\/p>\n

Readers can visit the Otter Tail County Jail website<\/a> for official information.<\/p>\n

The county also provides access to its current in-custody list.<\/p>\n

Because this record lists a sentenced case, this report does not describe the matter as a new criminal allegation.<\/p>\n

Additional public case information may be available through Minnesota Court Records Online<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Court records may provide details about sentencing and the earlier proceedings.<\/p>\n
