Warren Jail Books Timothy Kelley on DWI Refusal Charge<\/h2>\n

Warren (trfnews.i234.me<\/a>)<\/strong> \u2014 Timothy Carl Kelley was booked into the Marshall County Jail on September 2, 2026.<\/p>\n

The jail roster lists Kelley, 60, on a third-degree driving while impaired charge.<\/p>\n

The entry specifically identifies the allegation as refusal to submit to a chemical test.<\/p>\n

The listed statute is Minnesota Statute 169A.26, subdivision 1(b).<\/p>\n

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

The roster does not provide details about the traffic stop leading to Kelley’s booking.<\/p>\n

It does not list an alleged alcohol concentration or describe Kelley’s driving.<\/p>\n

The available entry also does not identify which chemical test was allegedly refused.<\/p>\n

No crash, injury, or passenger information was included in the jail information provided.<\/p>\n

The roster also does not include a court file number or bond amount.<\/p>\n

Those details may become available through court records as the case moves forward.<\/p>\n

Minnesota Law Covers Test Refusal<\/h2>\n

Minnesota Statute 169A.20<\/a> makes certain chemical-test refusals a criminal offense.<\/p>\n

The law covers refusal of a qualifying breath test.<\/p>\n

It can also cover refusal of a blood or urine test required by a search warrant.<\/p>\n

The jail listing does not specify which provision authorities allege applies to Kelley.<\/p>\n

Minnesota Statute 169A.26<\/a> classifies qualifying chemical-test refusal as third-degree DWI.<\/p>\n

The offense is classified as a gross misdemeanor.<\/p>\n

Possible Maximum Penalty<\/h2>\n

A Minnesota gross misdemeanor can carry up to 364 days in jail.<\/p>\n

It can also carry a fine of up to $3,000.<\/p>\n

Those general limits appear in Minnesota Statute 609.03<\/a>.<\/p>\n

DWI cases can also involve driver’s license consequences and other court requirements.<\/p>\n

The exact consequences depend on the facts and a person’s qualifying driving history.<\/p>\n

The roster information alone does not establish what penalties Kelley could ultimately receive.<\/p>\n

The Marshall County Jail is located in Warren, Minnesota.<\/p>\n

Readers can search available Minnesota cases through Minnesota Court Records Online<\/a>.<\/p>\n

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

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