GLYNDON, Minn.<\/strong> (trfnews.i234.me<\/a>) \u2013 A Glyndon man faces three criminal charges following an alleged domestic assault and a drunk driving arrest in Clay County.<\/p>\n

Authorities say a preliminary breath test showed an alcohol concentration of 0.173 before the driver allegedly refused further testing.<\/p>\n

Jack Keith Holt Jr., 31, of Glyndon, is charged with second-degree DWI test refusal, third-degree DWI, and misdemeanor domestic assault.<\/p>\n

Police Respond to Domestic Disturbance<\/h3>\n

According to the criminal complaint, Glyndon police responded to a domestic disturbance around 12:49 a.m. on October 25, 2026.<\/p>\n

The woman involved reported an argument with Holt, who had been living with her.<\/p>\n

She told investigators that Holt accused her of having a relationship with another person.<\/p>\n

The woman believed Holt had been drinking vodka since approximately 7 a.m. the previous day.<\/p>\n

Before officers arrived, she reported that Holt was leaving the residence in a small white passenger car.<\/p>\n

Officer Stops Driver in Glyndon<\/h3>\n

A Glyndon police officer located and stopped the vehicle.<\/p>\n

During the stop, Holt reportedly displayed bloodshot, watery eyes and slurred speech.<\/p>\n

The officer also noticed a strong odor of alcohol.<\/p>\n

Holt acknowledged arguing with the woman but denied any physical altercation.<\/p>\n

According to the complaint, Holt displayed signs of impairment during field sobriety testing.<\/p>\n

A preliminary breath test reportedly produced an alcohol concentration of 0.173.<\/p>\n

Officers arrested Holt on suspicion of impaired driving and transported him to the Clay County Jail.<\/p>\n

Driver Allegedly Refuses Official Breath Test<\/h3>\n

At the jail, Holt received Minnesota’s breath test advisory.<\/p>\n

According to court documents, he refused to complete the evidentiary breath test.<\/p>\n

The reported 0.173 reading came from the earlier preliminary test, not an official evidentiary test.<\/p>\n

During the investigation, Holt reportedly admitted pouring hair conditioner on the woman.<\/p>\n

Woman Reports Being Pushed Down Stairs<\/h3>\n

Investigators also interviewed the woman about the alleged confrontation.<\/p>\n

She reported that Holt dumped water and hair conditioner on her during their argument.<\/p>\n

According to the complaint, Holt also allegedly pushed or kicked her, causing her to fall down a staircase.<\/p>\n

The woman reported landing on a stairway landing.<\/p>\n

Officers observed that her hair appeared wet and sticky.<\/p>\n

She also showed investigators bruising on her right arm, which she attributed to an earlier alleged bite from Holt.<\/p>\n

Investigators documented additional bruising and red marks on her arms, legs, and ankle area.<\/p>\n

Previous DUI Conviction Listed<\/h3>\n

The criminal complaint references Holt’s previous DUI conviction in Cass County, North Dakota.<\/p>\n

According to court documents, that conviction occurred in 2022.<\/p>\n

Prosecutors allege an aggravating factor in connection with the new impaired driving charges.<\/p>\n

Three Criminal Charges Filed<\/h3>\n

Holt faces three criminal charges in Clay County District Court.<\/p>\n

Count 1:<\/strong> Second-degree DWI involving refusal to submit to chemical testing under Minnesota Statute 169A.25<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Count 2:<\/strong> Third-degree DWI involving driving under the influence of alcohol under Minnesota Statute 169A.26<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Both DWI counts are gross misdemeanors. Each carries a maximum penalty of 364 days in jail, a $3,000 fine, or both.<\/p>\n

Count 3:<\/strong> Misdemeanor domestic assault under Minnesota Statute 609.2242<\/a>.<\/p>\n

That charge carries a maximum penalty of 90 days in jail, a $1,000 fine, or both.<\/p>\n

The case is filed under Clay County District Court number 14-CR-26-3922.<\/p>\n

All charges remain allegations. Holt is presumed innocent unless proven guilty in court.<\/p>\n
