DETROIT LAKES, Minn.<\/strong> (trfnews.i234.me<\/a>) \u2014 Kenisha Precious Ratzlaff was booked into the Becker County Jail on Sept. 4, 2026.<\/p>\n

False Information Charge Listed<\/h2>\n

The jail entry lists the charge as giving a false name, birthdate, or identification card.<\/p>\n

The available booking record does not say which type of information was allegedly false.<\/p>\n

The statute includes giving a fictitious name other than a nickname.<\/p>\n

It also includes giving a false date of birth.<\/p>\n

A false or fraudulently altered identification card is also covered.<\/p>\n

The law applies during certain lawful police inquiries.<\/p>\n

Those can include inquiries connected with a lawful stop or arrest.<\/p>\n

The statute classifies a violation of subdivision 1 as a misdemeanor.<\/p>\n

Possible Penalty Under Minnesota Law<\/h2>\n

Misdemeanors in Minnesota can carry up to 90 days in jail.<\/p>\n

They can also carry a fine of up to $1,000.<\/p>\n

Those are maximum penalties and do not represent a sentence against Ratzlaff.<\/p>\n

Any penalty would depend on a conviction and the court process.<\/p>\n

The booking information does not list a final court outcome.<\/p>\n

Charge Remains an Allegation<\/h2>\n

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

The misdemeanor charge against Ratzlaff remains an allegation unless proven in court.<\/p>\n

The booking record does not provide a detailed criminal complaint.<\/p>\n

Additional court records may provide more information about the alleged incident.<\/p>\n
