The violations bureau handles the citation side, but the criminal case is prosecuted separately through the Hennepin County Attorney's office and the district court. Both create records that can be looked up.

Edina DUI Cases Under Minnesota Law

All Edina DUI cases are prosecuted under Minn. Stat. 169A.20. This is the core DWI statute in Minnesota. It covers driving while impaired by alcohol, controlled substances, hazardous substances, or any combination. The legal limit is 0.08 BAC for regular drivers. Any amount of a Schedule I or II controlled substance in the body also triggers a violation.

The charge degree follows Minnesota's four-tier system. Fourth degree is a misdemeanor. Third degree is a gross misdemeanor. Second degree is also a gross misdemeanor with enhanced penalties. First degree under Minn. Stat. 169A.24 is a felony carrying up to seven years in prison. The degree depends on prior offenses and aggravating factors such as a BAC of 0.16 or higher, a child in the vehicle, or a previous DWI conviction within ten years.

Edina officers document all aggravating factors in the arrest report. Those details appear in the court filing and affect the potential penalties. The DUI record for each Edina case shows the specific degree charged and the statute reference.

License Actions After an Edina DWI

A DWI arrest in Edina triggers automatic license revocation under Minn. Stat. 169A.52. Failing or refusing a breath test starts the revocation process through the Department of Public Safety. This is administrative and separate from the criminal case. Even if the criminal charges are reduced or dismissed, the license revocation can stand on its own.

You can challenge the revocation at a judicial review hearing. The request must be filed within the statutory deadline. The hearing examines whether the officer had probable cause, whether the implied consent advisory was properly read, and whether the test was administered correctly. These hearings take place in district court but are civil proceedings.

Getting your license back after an Edina DWI involves meeting the requirements in Minn. Stat. 171.178. This includes paying a reinstatement fee, completing a chemical dependency evaluation, and meeting treatment recommendations. For cases with aggravating factors or repeat offenses, the ignition interlock program under Minn. Stat. 171.306 is usually required. The DVS website has details on the reinstatement process.
