What Minnesota Law Says<\/h2>\n

Under Minnesota Statute 169A.26<\/a>, third-degree DWI involves qualifying impaired driving violations with an aggravating factor.<\/p>\n

Aggravating factors are defined under Minnesota Statute 169A.03<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Examples include a qualifying prior impaired driving incident within ten years.<\/p>\n

Another possible factor is an alcohol concentration of 0.16 or higher.<\/p>\n

Certain situations involving a child passenger may also qualify.<\/p>\n

However, none of these specific circumstances is established by Cariveau’s supplied booking record.<\/p>\n

The entry does not identify any test results or previous driving offenses.<\/p>\n

Possible Penalties for Third-Degree DWI<\/h2>\n

A conviction can carry up to one year in jail and a fine of $3,000.<\/p>\n

Additional penalties may apply depending on the circumstances and applicable state law.<\/p>\n

Actual sentences depend on court findings and any legally required sentencing provisions.<\/p>\n
