Bemidji Man Booked on Theft, False-Name Charges

BEMIDJI (trfnews.i234.me) — Roger Roaneagle was booked into the Beltrami County Jail on June 26, 2026.

The jail record lists one felony theft charge and one gross misdemeanor false-name charge.

Both charges appear under case number 26-011356.

The case is assigned to District Court, according to the booking information.

Felony Theft Charge Listed

The theft charge cites Minnesota Statute 609.52, subdivision 2(a)(1).

The charge alleges Roaneagle took, used, transferred, concealed, or kept movable property without the owner’s consent.

The state must also allege an intent to permanently deprive the owner of that property.

The booking record classifies the charge as a felony.

However, the record does not identify the property or its reported value.

Those details can affect the possible penalty under Minnesota law.

More information may appear in a criminal complaint or a later court filing.

That law covers giving another person’s name and birth date to a peace officer.

The act must allegedly involve an intent to obstruct justice.

The law classifies that offense as a gross misdemeanor.

A gross misdemeanor can bring up to 364 days in jail.

It can also bring a fine of up to $3,000.

Those are maximum penalties and do not predict the case’s outcome.

The jail roster lists Roaneagle at 6 feet tall and 220 pounds.

The record lists black hair and brown eyes.

The bail or fine field displayed $0.00 when the information was provided.

That amount does not explain whether Roaneagle could be released.

No court date appeared in the supplied jail information.

The court handles criminal and traffic cases filed in Beltrami County.

Public updates may appear through Minnesota Court Records Online.

A jail booking documents custody and the charges listed at that time.

It does not establish guilt or prove that any crime occurred.

Roaneagle is presumed innocent unless the allegations are proven in court.
