Mearah Ashleigh Aggamway, 23, is charged in Beltrami County District Court.
The charges include fourth-degree assault of a peace officer. That charge is a gross misdemeanor.
She also faces misdemeanor charges of obstructing legal process and disorderly conduct.
Police Called To Bemidji Fight
The case began on July 19, 2026, according to the criminal complaint.
Police responded to a reported physical fight near 26th Street NW and Park Avenue NW.
Officers contacted Aggamway and another person identified in court records as N.J.
The complaint says officers saw apparent blood on Aggamway’s shirt.
They also noticed a cut on N.J.’s wrist, according to the complaint.
A witness told police that Aggamway was the primary aggressor during the reported fight.
Police had contacted the parties about 30 minutes earlier for reported disorderly conduct.
The complaint alleges Aggamway appeared heavily intoxicated and continued yelling during the second police contact.
Complaint Alleges Officer Was Kicked
Police arrested Aggamway after reviewing witness information and the circumstances at the scene.
She was handcuffed and placed inside a patrol vehicle.
An officer then attempted to conduct a preliminary breath test for jail intake procedures.
The complaint alleges Aggamway leaned backward and kicked the officer in the chest.
The kick reportedly knocked the officer’s body-worn camera to the ground.
During transport, Aggamway allegedly screamed and tried kicking the patrol vehicle’s rear windows.
The complaint says she also managed to free one hand from her handcuffs.
Three Charges Filed
At the jail, Aggamway allegedly refused several commands to leave the patrol vehicle.
Corrections staff then physically removed her from the vehicle, according to prosecutors.
The complaint alleges she grabbed at staff, kicked, flailed, and resisted during the intake process.
The fourth-degree assault charge carries a maximum sentence of 364 days and a $3,000 fine.
Each misdemeanor charge carries up to 90 days and a $1,000 fine.
