Bagley: Nathan Martine Booked on License Charge
BAGLEY (trfnews.i234.me) — Nathan Martine, 42, was booked into the Clearwater County Jail on Thursday, July 2, 2026.
The jail record lists one alleged driving offense. Martine was booked at 6:26 p.m., according to the supplied booking information.
The listed charge is driving after cancellation as inimical to public safety. The record cites Minnesota Statute 171.24, subdivision 5.
Booking Information
The booking entry identifies Martine as an adult male. It does not provide details about the traffic stop or the events before his arrest.
The record also does not name a court date. No case outcome was included with the booking information.
What the Charge Means
Minnesota law classifies this offense as a gross misdemeanor. The law applies after a qualifying license cancellation or denial.
The state must also show that the driver knew about the cancellation. It may prove the driver reasonably should have known.
Those elements must be established in court. The full law appears in Minnesota Statute 171.24.
Possible Penalties
Minnesota law allows up to 364 days in jail for a gross misdemeanor. A court may also impose a fine of up to $3,000.
Those are maximum penalties, not an expected sentence. Any sentence depends on the case facts and the court’s decision.
The general penalties appear in Minnesota Statute 609.03.
A Booking Is Not a Conviction
A jail booking records a person’s entry into custody. It does not establish guilt or prove the listed allegation.
Martine is presumed innocent unless proven guilty in court. Prosecutors may amend, reduce, or dismiss charges after reviewing the evidence.
The Clearwater County Jail is located in Bagley. The county maintains jail information and other public resources online.
Further information may become available through court filings. Those records can include hearing dates, charging documents, and case updates.
