Bena (trfnews.i234.me)<\/a> \u2013 Cody Lawrence Stangel, 35, of Bena, Minnesota, was booked into Cass County Jail on October 31, 2026.<\/p>\n

The booking was recorded at 9:53 p.m., according to the supplied jail listing.<\/p>\n

The record lists three allegations involving vehicle insurance documentation, an open alcohol container, and driving after license revocation.<\/p>\n

All three offenses are listed as adult arrest entries in the jail record.<\/p>\n

Proof of Insurance Allegation<\/h2>\n

The first listed offense involves failing to carry or provide proof of vehicle insurance.<\/p>\n

The allegation falls under Minnesota Statute 169.791, subdivision 2(a).<\/p>\n

Under this law, drivers must carry proof of insurance while operating a motor vehicle.<\/p>\n

Drivers must also provide that proof when requested by a peace officer.<\/p>\n

Failing to provide the required documentation is generally classified as a misdemeanor.<\/p>\n

However, the booking entry does not establish whether Stangel’s vehicle actually lacked insurance coverage.<\/p>\n

Readers can review Minnesota Statute 169.791<\/a> for additional information.<\/p>\n

Open Bottle Violation Listed<\/h2>\n

The second allegation involves Minnesota’s open bottle law under Statute 169A.35, subdivision 3.<\/p>\n

The law generally prohibits possessing an opened alcohol container inside a private motor vehicle on a public road.<\/p>\n

Certain exceptions apply, including containers stored in designated areas outside the passenger compartment.<\/p>\n

The supplied jail record does not identify the alcoholic beverage or describe where the alleged container was found.<\/p>\n

The allegation does not establish that Stangel consumed alcohol while driving.<\/p>\n

More information is available through Minnesota’s Open Bottle Law<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Driving After Revocation Allegation<\/h2>\n

The third listed offense involves driving after revocation under Minnesota Statute 171.24, subdivision 2(a).<\/p>\n

This law generally prohibits driving after license revocation when the driver knows or reasonably should know about the restriction.<\/p>\n

The cited violation is generally classified as a misdemeanor.<\/p>\n

The booking entry does not explain when or why Stangel’s driving privileges were revoked.<\/p>\n

Readers can review Minnesota Statute 171.24<\/a> for additional details.<\/p>\n

Arrest Location and Investigation Details<\/h2>\n

The jail listing identifies Bena as Stangel’s city.<\/p>\n

However, the supplied record does not establish where the alleged traffic violations occurred.<\/p>\n

No specific highway, street, or arrest location appears in the available information.<\/p>\n

The record also does not explain whether all three allegations arose from the same incident.<\/p>\n

Cass County Jail and Court Information<\/h2>\n

Cass County Jail operates in Walker, Minnesota, under the Cass County Sheriff’s Office.<\/p>\n

Readers can visit the official Cass County Detention Center website<\/a> for jail information.<\/p>\n

The supplied booking record does not provide Stangel’s bail amount, release date, or scheduled court appearance.<\/p>\n

It also does not confirm whether prosecutors have formally filed the three listed allegations.<\/p>\n

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

Presumption of Innocence<\/h2>\n

A jail booking records an arrest and listed allegations. It does not establish a criminal conviction.<\/p>\n

Cody Lawrence Stangel is presumed innocent unless proven guilty in court.<\/p>\n
