Hubbard County DWI Charges

Hubbard County sees a mix of DWI charges each year. The area draws visitors for fishing, camping, and lake activities, especially in the summer months. That seasonal traffic can lead to more DUI stops during peak tourist times. Local law enforcement and the State Patrol both make arrests in the county, and all cases end up at the District Court in Park Rapids regardless of which agency made the stop.
The charge level depends on aggravating factors and prior history. Fourth-degree DWI under Statute 169A.27 is a misdemeanor. Third degree is a gross misdemeanor. Second degree is also a gross misdemeanor with enhanced penalties. First-degree DWI under Statute 169A.24 is a felony with up to seven years in prison.
