Dilworth: Dustin Hunsicker Faces Assault, DWI Charges<\/h2>\n

Dilworth, Clay County (trfnews.i234.me<\/a>)<\/strong> \u2014 Dustin Jerome Hunsicker was booked on September 7, 2026.<\/p>\n

Hunsicker, 22, is listed with three charges in the Clay County inmate roster.<\/p>\n

The charges include fourth-degree assault of a peace officer and two DWI counts.<\/p>\n

The Dilworth Police Department is listed as the arresting agency.<\/p>\n

Hunsicker’s booking time was listed as 8:35 p.m.<\/p>\n

Peace Officer Assault Charge<\/h2>\n

The roster lists fourth-degree assault of a peace officer involving demonstrable bodily harm.<\/p>\n

Minnesota Statute 609.2231 addresses fourth-degree assaults involving peace officers.<\/p>\n

State law makes the offense a felony when demonstrable bodily harm is allegedly inflicted.<\/p>\n

A conviction under that provision can carry up to three years in prison.<\/p>\n

The law also allows a fine of up to $6,000.<\/p>\n

Those are maximum penalties and do not represent a sentence in this case.<\/p>\n

The roster does not describe the alleged injuries.<\/p>\n

It also does not provide details about the events surrounding the alleged assault.<\/p>\n

No police officer names are included in this report.<\/p>\n

Two Fourth-Degree DWI Counts<\/h2>\n

Hunsicker also faces two fourth-degree driving while impaired counts.<\/p>\n

One charge alleges driving while under the influence of alcohol.<\/p>\n

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

Minnesota law allows the concentration measurement at driving or within two hours afterward.<\/p>\n

The roster does not provide Hunsicker’s alleged test result.<\/p>\n

Fourth-degree DWI is classified as a misdemeanor under Minnesota law.<\/p>\n

Readers can review Minnesota’s DWI statute<\/a> for more information.<\/p>\n

Charges Remain Allegations<\/h2>\n

The jail roster does not provide a detailed account of the alleged incident.<\/p>\n

It also does not list a final court outcome.<\/p>\n

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

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

Charges can change as prosecutors review evidence and proceedings continue.<\/p>\n
