GILMANTON TOWNSHIP, Minn. — An Oak Park woman received a 45-day jail term after a February traffic stop in which deputies reported finding three children in her SUV and a subsequent breath test measured an alcohol concentration of 0.31, according to the complaint and sentencing information supplied for publication.
Korrina Rose Rauschendorfer was convicted October 8, 2026, of gross misdemeanor second-degree DWI. The third-degree DWI and child-endangerment charges were dismissed. The supplied court-record account does not state why those counts were dismissed.
At approximately 4:59 p.m. on February 3, Benton County deputies received reports from two callers about a white SUV traveling on County Road 5 in Gilmanton Township. According to the complaint account, callers said the SUV had nearly entered a ditch and was speeding. They also reported that dirt covered its rear license plate.
A deputy located the SUV while one caller was still following it. The deputy reported seeing the vehicle cross the center line and confirmed that the rear plate could not be read before initiating a traffic stop.
Rauschendorfer was identified as the driver. The deputy reported smelling alcohol and observing slurred speech. She initially denied drinking, according to the complaint. Three children, all younger than 16, were in the vehicle.
The complaint states that Rauschendorfer showed signs of impairment during field sobriety testing and refused a preliminary breath test. She subsequently acknowledged drinking before driving. No crash was reported.
At the Benton County Jail, she tried unsuccessfully to reach an attorney before testing, according to the supplied account. A breath test administered at 6:41 p.m. measured an alcohol concentration of 0.31.
The original charges included second-degree DWI involving an alcohol concentration of at least 0.08, third-degree DWI and child endangerment. The reported conviction was on the second-degree DWI count; the other two counts were dismissed and should not be described as convictions.
The court imposed a 364-day Benton County Jail sentence and stayed 319 days for four years, leaving 45 days to serve. The sentence specified a service start date of October 16, 2026. Two days of credit for time already served reduced the remaining obligation at sentencing to 43 days. That figure reflects the sentencing calculation and is not a statement of how many days remain as of publication.
Work release was permitted if Rauschendorfer met eligibility requirements. The court also imposed four years of supervised probation and a $300 fine, according to the supplied sentencing information.
The full complaint, sentencing order and current custody status were not independently reviewed for this article. The incident details above are attributed to the complaint account supplied for publication; the reported conviction and dismissed charges are identified separately.
