Bagley Jail Books Elizabeth Estensen on Fleeing Charge

Bagley (trfnews.i234.me) — Elizabeth Estensen, 22, was booked into the Clearwater County Jail on Wednesday, July 29, 2026.

The booking time was listed as 12:15 p.m. The provided jail record lists one alleged motor vehicle offense.

Booking records identify the charge as fleeing a peace officer in a motor vehicle. The listed law is Minnesota Statute 609.487, subdivision 3.

The provided booking information does not include an incident report. It does not state where the alleged event happened.

It also does not list a court date, bond amount, or case number.

What Minnesota Law Says

Minnesota law defines fleeing as refusing to stop, increasing speed, turning off lights, or using other means to elude.

The definition applies after a peace officer signals a driver to stop.

Subdivision 3 covers fleeing or attempting to flee by motor vehicle. The officer must be acting during a lawful official duty.

The driver must know, or reasonably should know, the person is a peace officer.

The statute classifies the alleged offense as a felony. A conviction can bring up to three years and one day in prison.

It can also bring a fine of up to $5,000. A court could impose both penalties.

Those figures are the maximum penalties under the statute. Any sentence would depend on the case facts and court decisions.

Readers can review the full law through the Minnesota Revisor of Statutes.

The Clearwater County Sheriff’s Office maintains the county inmate list. The county warns that entries may show an initial or amended charge.

It also says the list may not always be complete or current.

Readers can review the Clearwater County inmate list through the county website.

The jail is located in Bagley, Minnesota.

Court information may later appear through Minnesota Court Records Online.

That system provides public access to many state district court records.

The booking information provided to TRF News lists no other charges against Estensen.

It also gives no details about a pursuit, vehicle, road, injuries, or property damage.

A jail booking is not a finding of guilt. Estensen is presumed innocent unless proven guilty in court.
