Bemidji Booking: Jessica Werner Faces DWI Charges

BEMIDJI (trfnews.i234.me) — Jessica Werner was booked into the Beltrami County Jail on June 27, 2026.

The jail record lists two traffic-related charges under case number 25010982.

One allegation involves driving while impaired with a Schedule I or Schedule II drug present.

The listed law excludes cannabis, hemp products, and certain related substances.

That DWI allegation is classified as a gross misdemeanor in the booking record.

Second Charge Involves Revoked License

Werner also faces an alleged driving-after-revocation charge.

The jail record classifies that count as a misdemeanor.

No court date was listed in the information available for this report.

The record showed a bail or fine amount of $0.00.

That figure does not explain Werner’s release status or future court conditions.

Minnesota Statute 169A.20 covers the state’s driving-while-impaired offenses.

Subdivision 1, clause 7, addresses certain controlled substances or their metabolites in a driver’s body.

The statute lists exceptions for cannabis, hemp products, and some related substances.

Minnesota Statute 171.24 covers driving without a valid license.

Its second subdivision addresses driving after a license or driving privilege has been revoked.

The booking record lists District Court as the court branch.

Beltrami County criminal and traffic cases are handled at the county district court in Bemidji.

Readers can view court information through the Minnesota Judicial Branch.

A jail booking does not prove guilt.

Werner is presumed innocent unless proven guilty in court.

Charges may change as prosecutors review reports, test results, and other evidence.

Future court filings may include hearing dates, release terms, or amended allegations.
