Bemidji: Derik Allen Booked on Assault Charges

BEMIDJI (trfnews.i234.me) — Derik Allen was booked into the Beltrami County Jail on June 30, 2026.

The jail roster lists two gross misdemeanor charges under case number 26-010113.

One charge alleges fourth-degree assault motivated by bias.

The second charge alleges a subsequent domestic assault violation.

The supplied booking record does not describe the reported incident.

Bias-Motivated Assault Allegation

That law covers assaults allegedly motivated by certain actual or perceived personal traits.

Those traits include race, religion, sex, age, national origin, disability, and other protected characteristics.

The roster does not identify which protected characteristic was allegedly involved.

It also provides no details about the claimed motive or reported conduct.

That provision applies when domestic assault is alleged after a qualifying prior offense.

The prior conviction or juvenile finding must have occurred within ten years.

The booking record does not identify the earlier case.

It also does not explain the alleged relationship between the people involved.

The roster lists Allen at 5 feet, 8 inches tall and 175 pounds.

It lists black hair and brown eyes.

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

That entry does not explain whether bail was denied or had not been set.

No court date appeared in the supplied roster.

The case was assigned to Beltrami County District Court in Bemidji.

Court dates can change as documents are filed and hearings are scheduled.

A jail booking does not establish guilt or confirm a criminal conviction.

Allen is presumed innocent unless proven guilty in court.

The charges may be amended, dismissed, or resolved through later court action.

More facts may appear in a criminal complaint or probable cause statement.
