Detroit Lakes: Kent Hoisington Faces Third-Degree DWI<\/h2>\n

Detroit Lakes<\/strong> (trfnews.i234.me<\/a>) \u2014 Kent Jon Hoisington was booked into the Becker County Jail on September 5, 2026.<\/p>\n

Hoisington, 52, faces two driving while impaired charges under Minnesota law.<\/p>\n

One charge alleges third-degree DWI with one aggravating factor.<\/p>\n

The second alleges an alcohol concentration of 0.08 or more within two hours.<\/p>\n

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

Hoisington faces a charge under Minnesota Statute 169A.26, subdivision 1(a).<\/p>\n

That law applies when a DWI violation includes one aggravating factor.<\/p>\n

Minnesota classifies third-degree DWI as a gross misdemeanor.<\/p>\n

The jail record does not identify the aggravating factor in Hoisington’s case.<\/p>\n

An aggravating factor can affect the level of a DWI charge.<\/p>\n

Prior impaired-driving incidents can qualify under Minnesota law in certain cases.<\/p>\n

Readers can review Minnesota Statute 169A.26<\/a> for the full law.<\/p>\n

Alcohol Concentration Charge<\/h2>\n

A second charge is listed under Minnesota Statute 169A.20, subdivision 1(5).<\/p>\n

The provision covers driving with an alcohol concentration of 0.08 or more.<\/p>\n

The measurement may be taken while driving or within two hours afterward.<\/p>\n

The jail record does not provide Hoisington’s reported alcohol concentration.<\/p>\n

It also does not state which chemical testing method was allegedly used.<\/p>\n

Readers can review Minnesota Statute 169A.20<\/a> for Minnesota’s DWI law.<\/p>\n

Becker County Booking<\/h2>\n

The Becker County Jail is located in Detroit Lakes.<\/p>\n

Hoisington’s booking date is listed as September 5, 2026.<\/p>\n

No estimated release date was included in the booking information.<\/p>\n

The public record does not describe where the alleged driving occurred.<\/p>\n

It also does not provide details about the traffic stop or arrest.<\/p>\n

No police officers are named in this report.<\/p>\n

Readers can visit the Becker County Jail website<\/a> for jail information.<\/p>\n

Court information may also become available through the Minnesota Judicial Branch<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Charges Remain Allegations<\/h2>\n

A jail booking does not mean a person has been convicted.<\/p>\n

The charges against Hoisington remain allegations unless proven in court.<\/p>\n

Hoisington is presumed innocent unless proven guilty through the legal process.<\/p>\n

Future court filings may provide more details about the allegations.<\/p>\n

Those records may also include court dates, bail information, or release conditions.<\/p>\n
