Beltrami County: Scott Gollwitzer Faces 3 DWI Charges<\/h2>\n

BELTRAMI COUNTY, MN (trfnews.i234.me<\/a>)<\/strong> \u2013 Scott Gollwitzer was booked into the Beltrami County Jail on October 13, 2026. Jail records list three driving while impaired (DWI) charges, including an alleged refusal to submit to chemical testing.<\/p>\n

All three charges are listed as gross misdemeanors under Minnesota law. The records identify District Court as the court handling the case.<\/p>\n

Three DWI Charges Listed in Jail Records<\/h2>\n

According to the Beltrami County Jail booking information, Gollwitzer faces three counts under Minnesota’s impaired driving laws.<\/p>\n

The first charge involves third-degree DWI for allegedly refusing a chemical test. The charge falls under Minnesota Statute 169A.26, subdivision 1(b).<\/p>\n

The second charge alleges operating a motor vehicle while under the influence of alcohol. This charge falls under Minnesota Statute 169A.20, subdivision 1(1).<\/p>\n

The third charge involves third-degree DWI with one aggravating factor. It falls under Minnesota Statute 169A.26, subdivision 1(a).<\/p>\n

All three counts appear under case number 26321515 in the jail records.<\/p>\n

Booking Details and Court Information<\/h2>\n

The jail record lists Gollwitzer’s custody date as October 13, 2026. It also displays a bail or fine amount of $0.00.<\/p>\n

That figure does not establish whether Gollwitzer qualifies for release or remains in custody.<\/p>\n

The available booking information does not provide a scheduled court appearance. It also does not identify the location or circumstances of the alleged driving incident.<\/p>\n

No additional details about the traffic stop appear in the supplied jail record.<\/p>\n

What Minnesota Law Says About Third-Degree DWI<\/h2>\n

Under Minnesota law, third-degree DWI is a gross misdemeanor. The charge can involve an aggravating factor or refusal to submit to chemical testing.<\/p>\n

Readers can review Minnesota Statute 169A.26<\/a> for the legal definition of third-degree DWI.<\/p>\n

Additional rules covering impaired driving and chemical test refusal appear in Minnesota Statute 169A.20<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Possible penalties depend on the charge, case history, and final court decision. A listed charge does not establish guilt.<\/p>\n

Case Status and Next Steps<\/h2>\n

The available records do not confirm whether Gollwitzer has entered a plea. They also do not show a conviction or final ruling.<\/p>\n

Future court filings may provide more information about the allegations and scheduled hearings.<\/p>\n

Readers can visit the Minnesota Court Records Online portal<\/a> to search for publicly available case information.<\/p>\n

The charges remain allegations unless proven in court. Gollwitzer is presumed innocent unless and until proven guilty.<\/p>\n
