Brainerd (trfnews.i234.me)<\/a> \u2013 Jeffrey Jay Max, 51, was booked into Crow Wing County Jail on Wednesday, October 14, 2026.<\/p>\n

The official jail roster records his booking at 3:04 p.m.<\/p>\n

His booking number is 69219.<\/p>\n

The record lists two entries involving first-degree controlled substance sales and driving while impaired.<\/p>\n

Both entries display the custody status “SENTENCED.”<\/p>\n

First-Degree Drug Sale Entry<\/h2>\n

The first entry involves a felony first-degree controlled substance sale offense.<\/p>\n

The Crow Wing County inmate roster describes the offense as a sale involving 50 grams or more.<\/p>\n

The record cites Minnesota Statute 152.021, subdivision 1(4).<\/p>\n

That provision applies to certain narcotic drugs other than cocaine, heroin, fentanyl, or methamphetamine.<\/p>\n

However, the jail record does not identify the specific substance involved in Max’s case.<\/p>\n

It also does not provide the actual quantity or describe any reported transactions.<\/p>\n

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

Minnesota Statute 152.021 defines first-degree controlled substance crimes.<\/p>\n

Under subdivision 1(4), the law covers certain unlawful sales totaling 50 grams or more within 90 days.<\/p>\n

The qualifying mixtures must contain a narcotic drug covered by that provision.<\/p>\n

A basic conviction can carry up to 30 years in prison or a $1 million fine.<\/p>\n

The law allows both penalties, and different rules may apply under qualifying circumstances.<\/p>\n

However, these statutory limits are not Max’s confirmed sentence.<\/p>\n

Controlled Substance DWI Entry<\/h2>\n

The second entry involves driving while impaired by a controlled substance.<\/p>\n

The roster cites Minnesota Statute 169A.20, subdivision 1(2).<\/p>\n

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

The entry is classified as a misdemeanor.<\/p>\n

However, the jail record does not identify the controlled substance involved.<\/p>\n

It also does not describe the driving incident or provide any testing results.<\/p>\n

No confirmed roadway, traffic stop location, or incident date appears in the booking information.<\/p>\n

Both Entries Marked Sentenced<\/h2>\n

The official jail roster displays “SENTENCED” beside both offenses.<\/p>\n

However, the listing does not provide the actual sentences imposed.<\/p>\n

It also does not identify sentencing dates, court case numbers, or detailed judicial findings.<\/p>\n

Additional court records would be needed to confirm the specific legal outcomes.<\/p>\n

Incident Locations Not Confirmed<\/h2>\n

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

However, the jail’s address does not establish where either underlying offense occurred.<\/p>\n

No verified street address or incident location appears in the available record.<\/p>\n

The October 14 booking date should not be treated as the offense date.<\/p>\n

Jail and Court Information<\/h2>\n

Readers can check the official Crow Wing County inmate roster<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Facility details are available through the Crow Wing County Jail website<\/a>.<\/p>\n

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

Case Status<\/h2>\n

The roster identifies two sentenced-status offenses but does not include their complete court judgments.<\/p>\n

Readers should consult court records to confirm the sentence lengths and case histories.<\/p>\n
