Fergus Falls (trfnews.i234.me)<\/a> \u2013 Dean Cody Sailer, 28, was booked into Otter Tail County Jail on October 26, 2026.<\/p>\n

The supplied jail record lists a misdemeanor driving while impaired offense involving an alcohol concentration of 0.08 or higher.<\/p>\n

The offense is marked “M \u2013 Sentenced” in the booking information.<\/p>\n

The entry does not include the actual sentence imposed or the date of the original driving incident.<\/p>\n

DWI Offense Listed in Jail Record<\/h2>\n

The listed offense falls under Minnesota Statute 169A.20, subdivision 1(5).<\/p>\n

This law prohibits operating or physically controlling a motor vehicle with an alcohol concentration of 0.08 or higher.<\/p>\n

The concentration may be measured while driving or within two hours afterward.<\/p>\n

The jail record identifies Sailer’s offense as a misdemeanor.<\/p>\n

However, the supplied information does not include his exact alcohol concentration.<\/p>\n

It also does not describe the testing method or the circumstances surrounding the original incident.<\/p>\n

No vehicle details, roadway information, or traffic stop location appear in the supplied entry.<\/p>\n

What Minnesota DWI Law Says<\/h2>\n

Minnesota law establishes several levels of driving while impaired offenses.<\/p>\n

The offense classification depends on the circumstances and any applicable aggravating factors.<\/p>\n

Fourth-degree DWI is generally classified as a misdemeanor under Minnesota Statute 169A.27.<\/p>\n

A misdemeanor conviction can carry up to 90 days in jail.<\/p>\n

Minnesota law also allows a fine of up to $1,000, or both penalties.<\/p>\n

These are maximum possible penalties, not Sailer’s confirmed sentence.<\/p>\n

Readers can review Minnesota Statute 169A.20 \u2013 Driving While Impaired<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The misdemeanor classification is explained in Minnesota Statute 169A.27 \u2013 Fourth-Degree DWI<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Misdemeanor Case Marked Sentenced<\/h2>\n

The jail listing identifies Sailer’s DWI offense as a sentenced misdemeanor matter.<\/p>\n

No specific jail term, fine, probation requirement, or sentencing date appears in the supplied information.<\/p>\n

The record also does not provide an estimated release date.<\/p>\n

Official court documents may clarify the sentence and any remaining legal requirements.<\/p>\n

Location of Original DWI Incident Unknown<\/h2>\n

The booking record does not identify Sailer’s hometown.<\/p>\n

It also does not establish where the original DWI incident occurred.<\/p>\n

No highway, street address, or specific incident location appears in the supplied information.<\/p>\n

Otter Tail County Jail is located at 416 South Mill Street in Fergus Falls, Minnesota.<\/p>\n

However, the jail’s location does not establish where the driving incident happened.<\/p>\n

Court Records and Sentencing Information<\/h2>\n

The supplied record does not include a complete criminal case history.<\/p>\n

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

That system provides public case information and available court documents.<\/p>\n

The sentencing designation should be checked against the official court judgment before reporting specific penalties.<\/p>\n

The jail listing alone does not establish Sailer’s current custody status.<\/p>\n
