THIEF RIVER FALLS, MN<\/strong> (trfnews.i234.me<\/a>) \u2013 A Thief River Falls man faces DWI and false-name charges after a sheriff’s deputy reported erratic driving along Highway 59.<\/p>\n

Jeremy Brian Haynes, 35, of Thief River Falls, was arrested following a traffic stop on November 1, 2026.<\/p>\n

According to the criminal complaint, Haynes allegedly gave deputies a false identity before authorities discovered his actual name.<\/p>\n

Investigators also reported a preliminary blood alcohol concentration of 0.19.<\/p>\n

Deputy Reports Vehicle Crossing Centerline<\/h2>\n

The investigation began when a sheriff’s deputy observed a vehicle traveling along Highway 59.<\/p>\n

According to court documents, the vehicle allegedly crossed well beyond the centerline.<\/p>\n

The deputy also observed the pickup repeatedly touching the centerline and fog line.<\/p>\n

Authorities initiated a traffic stop, although the exact location along Highway 59 was not provided.<\/p>\n

While speaking with the driver, the deputy reportedly noticed signs of alcohol impairment.<\/p>\n

Driver Allegedly Provides False Name<\/h2>\n

During the encounter, Haynes allegedly identified himself using a different name.<\/p>\n

Investigators became suspicious and searched for information that could establish his identity.<\/p>\n

According to the complaint, authorities discovered a prescription pill bottle bearing Haynes’ name inside the pickup.<\/p>\n

Deputies also located an expired identification card in his wallet.<\/p>\n

These discoveries helped investigators determine that the driver was Jeremy Brian Haynes.<\/p>\n

Haynes reportedly explained that he used his son’s middle name and a family name along with his own first name.<\/p>\n
