CROOKSTON, Minn.<\/strong> (trfnews.i234.me<\/a>) \u2014 Michael Everett Shnyder, 71, appears in a Polk County jail booking entry dated October 29, 2026.<\/p>\n

The record lists a misdemeanor allegation involving the display of a canceled, revoked, or suspended driver’s license as valid.<\/p>\n

The offense is listed under Minnesota Statute 171.22, subdivision 1(9).<\/p>\n

Shnyder Listed on Driver’s License Violation<\/h2>\n

According to the supplied jail information, Shnyder was booked Thursday, October 29, 2026.<\/p>\n

His date of birth is listed as May 11, 1955, making him 71 years old.<\/p>\n

The listed offense concerns presenting a driver’s license as valid when driving privileges have been withdrawn.<\/p>\n

The record classifies the allegation as a misdemeanor, identified by the abbreviation “MS.”<\/p>\n

However, the entry does not explain the circumstances surrounding the alleged violation.<\/p>\n

It also does not specify whether Shnyder’s driving privileges were canceled, revoked, or suspended.<\/p>\n

What Minnesota Law Says About Invalid Licenses<\/h2>\n

Under Minnesota Statute 171.22<\/a>, displaying certain invalid driver’s licenses as valid is prohibited.<\/p>\n

Subdivision 1(9) specifically addresses canceled, revoked, and suspended driver’s licenses.<\/p>\n

Minnesota law allows someone with withdrawn driving privileges to display that license for identification purposes only.<\/p>\n

However, displaying the license as valid driving authorization can result in a criminal charge.<\/p>\n

The statute classifies this particular offense as a misdemeanor.<\/p>\n

The maximum standard penalty for a Minnesota misdemeanor is generally 90 days in jail, a $1,000 fine, or both.<\/p>\n

The listing does not establish that Shnyder was driving when the alleged violation occurred.<\/p>\n

It also does not identify a traffic stop, vehicle, or arresting agency.<\/p>\n
