ADA, MN \u2013 (trfnews.i234.me)<\/a><\/strong> \u2013 A Fargo man faces a gross misdemeanor charge following a traffic stop in Ada, Minnesota.<\/p>\n

Justin Samuel Rivett Goldstein, 37, of Fargo, North Dakota, is charged with driving after cancellation of his license as inimical to public safety.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The charge stems from an August 20, 2026, traffic stop in Norman County.<\/p>\n

According to a criminal complaint filed in Minnesota’s Ninth Judicial District, Goldstein allegedly operated a vehicle despite his canceled driving privileges.<\/p>\n

License Plate Check Leads to Traffic Stop<\/h2>\n

According to the statement of probable cause, law enforcement conducted a license plate check on August 20.<\/p>\n

The check identified the vehicle’s registered owner as Justin Samuel Rivett Goldstein.<\/p>\n

Investigators reported that the license information showed his driving privileges had been canceled as inimical to public safety.<\/p>\n

After reviewing the information, law enforcement conducted a traffic stop.<\/p>\n

The driver identified himself as Justin Goldstein, according to the complaint.<\/p>\n

Driver Accused of Operating Vehicle With Canceled License<\/h2>\n

Prosecutors allege Goldstein was driving in Ada while knowing his license had been canceled.<\/p>\n

The complaint states that Goldstein operated a motor vehicle despite the cancellation of his driving privileges.<\/p>\n

The charge falls under Minnesota Statute 171.24, subdivision 5.<\/p>\n

That statute addresses operating a motor vehicle after a driver’s license has been canceled or denied under certain public safety provisions.<\/p>\n

The law also requires that the driver knew or reasonably should have known about the cancellation.<\/p>\n

The complaint does not explain why Goldstein’s license was originally canceled.<\/p>\n
