Marshall County: Belland Booked on DWI, License Charges

Marshall County (trfnews.i234.me) — Shawn Pierre Belland II, 37, was booked into the Marshall County Jail on July 3, 2026.

The jail record lists two traffic-related charges against Belland. Both charges are allegations and have not resulted in a conviction.

Second-Degree DWI Charge

The first charge is second-degree driving while impaired. The booking entry says two or more aggravating factors were present.

The record cites Minnesota Statute 169A.25, subdivision 1(a). State law classifies second-degree DWI as a gross misdemeanor.

Minnesota law lists several possible aggravating factors. They can include certain prior impaired-driving incidents within ten years.

Other factors can include a high alcohol concentration or having a young child inside the vehicle. The booking record does not identify the alleged factors.

License Cancellation Charge

The second charge alleges driving after license cancellation. The record describes the cancellation as inimical to public safety.

That charge cites Minnesota Statute 171.24, subdivision 5. The law covers driving after certain license cancellations or denials.

Few Incident Details Released

The supplied record does not provide an incident report. It also does not list the traffic stop location.

No crash details, test results, or passenger information were included. The record also gives no court date or bond amount.

Readers can review Minnesota’s second-degree DWI law through the Office of the Revisor of Statutes.

The state’s driving-without-a-valid-license law is also available through the Revisor’s official website.

Public case information may later appear through Minnesota Court Records Online. That service provides access to many public district court records.

County information is available through the Marshall County Sheriff’s Office.

Online court information may change as a case moves forward. Charges can be amended, dismissed, or resolved through later court action.

A jail booking does not prove guilt. Belland is presumed innocent unless proven guilty in court.

Further information should come from official court filings or the Marshall County Sheriff’s Office.
