Keith Mowder Booked on DWI Test Refusal in Becker County<\/h2>\n

BECKER COUNTY, MN (trfnews.i234.me<\/a>)<\/strong> \u2013 A 61-year-old man was booked into the Becker County Jail on Wednesday, October 21, 2026, on a driving-while-impaired-related allegation involving refusal to submit to chemical testing.<\/p>\n

According to the supplied Becker County Jail roster, Keith Allen Mowder, 61<\/strong>, has one listed offense involving an alleged refusal to submit to a breath test.<\/p>\n

DWI Breath Test Refusal Allegation<\/h2>\n

The booking identifies the offense as refusal to submit to a chemical test in connection with Minnesota’s impaired-driving laws.<\/p>\n

The listed offense references Minnesota Statute 169A.20, subdivision 2(1)<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Under this provision, refusing a breath test administered under the state’s applicable chemical-testing laws can constitute a criminal offense.<\/p>\n

However, the jail roster does not explain the circumstances leading to the alleged refusal or identify the location of the reported driving incident.<\/p>\n

What Minnesota Law Says About Test Refusal<\/h2>\n

Minnesota’s DWI laws prohibit certain refusals to submit to chemical testing.<\/p>\n

Subdivision 2(1) specifically addresses breath-test refusal, while a separate provision addresses refusal of blood or urine testing required by a valid search warrant.<\/p>\n

The potential criminal classification and penalties depend on applicable impaired-driving laws and circumstances.<\/p>\n

The supplied jail record does not identify any prior impaired-driving history, aggravating factors, or a specific offense severity classification.<\/p>\n

Becker County Jail Booking Details<\/h2>\n

Mowder’s booking date is listed as October 21, 2026.<\/p>\n

The jail roster identifies him as 61 years old and lists an estimated release date of October 22, 2026<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

That date is an estimate and does not establish that Mowder has been released.<\/p>\n

Court Case and Investigation Details<\/h2>\n

The supplied booking information does not identify the investigating agency, the location of the alleged offense, or any reported alcohol concentration.<\/p>\n

No District Court case number, scheduled hearing date, bail amount, or final court disposition was included.<\/p>\n

Additional information may be available through Minnesota Court Records Online<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The listed offense is an allegation, not a finding of guilt. Mowder is presumed innocent unless proven guilty in court.<\/p>\n
