Brainerd (trfnews.i234.me)<\/a> \u2013 Patricia Mary Hansen, 70, was booked into Crow Wing County Jail on Saturday, October 31, 2026.<\/p>\n

The official jail roster records her booking at 8:38 p.m.<\/p>\n

Her booking number is 69306.<\/p>\n

The record lists two gross misdemeanor entries involving driving while impaired by alcohol.<\/p>\n

Both entries display the status “COURT\/PENDING.”<\/p>\n

Alcohol-Related DWI Allegation<\/h2>\n

The first entry concerns allegedly operating a motor vehicle while under the influence of alcohol.<\/p>\n

The roster cites Minnesota Statute 169A.20, subdivision 1(1).<\/p>\n

That provision prohibits driving, operating, or physically controlling a motor vehicle while under alcohol’s influence.<\/p>\n

However, the booking record does not describe the circumstances surrounding Hansen’s alleged offense.<\/p>\n

It does not identify the vehicle, explain how police became involved, or document any sobriety testing.<\/p>\n

No alcohol concentration or breath test result appears in the supplied information.<\/p>\n

Third-Degree DWI Also Listed<\/h2>\n

The second entry involves third-degree driving while impaired.<\/p>\n

The roster cites Minnesota Statute 169A.26, subdivision 1(a).<\/p>\n

Under this provision, an impaired-driving allegation reaches the third-degree level when one qualifying aggravating factor is present.<\/p>\n

Those factors are defined separately under Minnesota law.<\/p>\n

They can include certain previous impaired-driving incidents or a qualifying high alcohol concentration.<\/p>\n

However, the jail record does not identify which factor was allegedly present.<\/p>\n

It does not establish that Hansen has a previous DWI conviction.<\/p>\n

The two entries also do not establish two separate driving incidents.<\/p>\n

Possible Penalties Under Minnesota Law<\/h2>\n

Third-degree DWI is classified as a gross misdemeanor in Minnesota.<\/p>\n

A conviction can generally carry up to 364 days in jail or a $3,000 fine, or both.<\/p>\n

Other sentencing requirements may apply depending on the circumstances.<\/p>\n

These are possible statutory penalties, not a sentence imposed against Hansen.<\/p>\n

The booking record does not establish a conviction or any final sentence.<\/p>\n

Court Status Listed as Pending<\/h2>\n

Both DWI-related entries display “COURT\/PENDING” on the official jail roster.<\/p>\n

However, the available information does not identify a scheduled court hearing.<\/p>\n

It also does not provide a bail amount, release date, or final case outcome.<\/p>\n

Additional court records may clarify the allegations and any subsequent proceedings.<\/p>\n

Incident Location Not Confirmed<\/h2>\n

Crow Wing County Jail is located in Brainerd, Minnesota.<\/p>\n

However, the jail’s location does not establish where the alleged driving offense occurred.<\/p>\n

No roadway, street address, or confirmed traffic stop location appears in the record.<\/p>\n

The October 31 booking date should not be treated as the confirmed offense date.<\/p>\n

Jail and Court Information<\/h2>\n

Additional information is available through the Crow Wing County Jail website<\/a>.<\/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 allegations and does not establish criminal guilt.<\/p>\n

Patricia Mary Hansen is presumed innocent unless proven guilty in court.<\/p>\n
