Detroit Lakes: Preston Kier Booked on DWI Charge<\/h2>\n

DETROIT LAKES<\/strong> (trfnews.i234.me<\/a>) \u2014 Preston Lee Kier, 22, was booked into the Becker County Jail on October 5, 2026.<\/p>\n

The jail roster lists one driving while impaired charge against Kier.<\/p>\n

The charge involves an alleged alcohol concentration of 0.08 or more.<\/p>\n

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

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

DWI Charge Listed<\/h2>\n

The booking entry says Kier allegedly operated a motor vehicle with an alcohol concentration of at least 0.08.<\/p>\n

The statute also covers a qualifying alcohol level measured within two hours of driving.<\/p>\n

The brief jail record does not state the reported alcohol concentration.<\/p>\n

It also does not describe the traffic stop or events leading to the arrest.<\/p>\n

No crash or reported injuries are listed in the booking information.<\/p>\n

The entry also does not identify where the alleged driving occurred.<\/p>\n

What Minnesota Law Says<\/h2>\n

Minnesota Statute 169A.20<\/a> defines several forms of driving while impaired.<\/p>\n

Subdivision 1(5) addresses alcohol concentration while driving, operating, or controlling a motor vehicle.<\/p>\n

The law sets the listed alcohol concentration threshold at 0.08.<\/p>\n

A measurement taken within two hours of driving can also fall under the provision.<\/p>\n

The specific degree of a DWI charge can depend on additional case facts.<\/p>\n

Those facts may include prior impaired-driving incidents or other aggravating factors.<\/p>\n

The booking information provided does not list those additional details.<\/p>\n

Becker County Booking<\/h2>\n

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

The facility houses both sentenced and pretrial inmates.<\/p>\n

More case information may later become available through court filings.<\/p>\n

Readers can search public Minnesota court records through Minnesota Court Records Online<\/a>.<\/p>\n

A jail booking and criminal charge do not establish guilt.<\/p>\n

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

TRF News will report additional verified information when it becomes publicly available.<\/p>\n
