Becker County<\/strong> (trfnews.i234.me<\/a>) \u2014 A Detroit Lakes man faces three criminal charges following a motorcycle traffic stop on U.S. Highway 59.<\/p>\n

Jeremy William Kohler, 53, is charged with two gross misdemeanors and one misdemeanor in Becker County District Court.<\/p>\n

Prosecutors allege Kohler operated an uninsured motorcycle while his driver’s license was revoked.<\/p>\n

He also faces a charge involving motor vehicle registration and alleged intent to avoid paying required taxes.<\/p>\n

Motorcycle Stopped on Highway 59<\/h2>\n

According to the criminal complaint, a Becker County sheriff’s deputy was conducting routine patrol around 7:55 p.m.<\/p>\n

The deputy noticed a motorcycle traveling north on U.S. Highway 59 without a functioning rear light.<\/p>\n

The deputy stopped the motorcycle and identified the driver as Jeremy William Kohler.<\/p>\n

During the stop, Kohler reportedly acknowledged that he did not have a valid driver’s license.<\/p>\n

He also told the deputy that the motorcycle did not have insurance, according to court documents.<\/p>\n

A records check revealed additional concerns involving the motorcycle and Kohler’s driving privileges.<\/p>\n

Registration Reportedly Expired in 2019<\/h2>\n

According to the complaint, dispatch reported that the motorcycle’s registration had expired in 2019.<\/p>\n

The deputy also confirmed that Kohler’s driver’s license was revoked.<\/p>\n

Court documents indicate investigators identified a prior insurance-related incident involving Kohler.<\/p>\n

The motorcycle was subsequently towed from the scene.<\/p>\n

The supplied complaint does not describe a crash, injuries, or a pursuit.<\/p>\n

Three Criminal Charges Filed<\/h2>\n

The first charge alleges Kohler operated an uninsured vehicle in violation of Minnesota law.<\/p>\n

Prosecutors allege he had two prior no-insurance convictions within the previous 10 years.<\/p>\n

That allegation raises the charge to a gross misdemeanor under Minnesota Statute 169.797<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The second gross misdemeanor alleges Kohler failed to meet vehicle registration requirements with intent to avoid motor vehicle taxes.<\/p>\n

That charge falls under Minnesota Statute 168.35<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The complaint’s factual summary does not explain what additional evidence supports the alleged intent to avoid taxes.<\/p>\n

The third charge is misdemeanor driving after revocation under Minnesota Statute 171.24<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Possible Penalties and Court Proceedings<\/h2>\n

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

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

These penalties represent possible maximum sentences, not punishments imposed by the court.<\/p>\n

The case is filed in Minnesota’s Seventh Judicial District under case number 03-CR-26-1984<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

The complaint is identified as a summons matter.<\/p>\n

The supplied document does not establish whether Kohler has entered a plea or received a sentence.<\/p>\n

Complaint Contains Conflicting Dates<\/h2>\n

The complaint lists September 25, 2026, as the alleged offense date for all three charges.<\/p>\n

However, the probable cause statement identifies the traffic stop date as September 25, 2025.<\/p>\n

The reason for this difference is unclear from the supplied document.<\/p>\n

Readers can search case number 03-CR-26-1984<\/strong> through Minnesota Court Records Online<\/a>.<\/p>\n

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