Bemidji Jail Lists Clarence Patterson on 3 Charges

BEMIDJI (trfnews.i234.me) — Clarence Patterson appears in a Beltrami County Jail listing dated October 24, 2026.

The entry lists theft, fleeing without a motor vehicle, and domestic assault counts.

The three counts appear under two separate jail case numbers.

District Court is named in the record, but no hearing date is shown.

The supplied listing does not explain the events behind the allegations.

Theft Count Listed as Gross Misdemeanor

Jail case 2026020234 includes a theft count under Minnesota Statute 609.52, subdivision 2(a)(1).

The law covers taking, using, or keeping another person’s movable property without consent.

It also requires intent to permanently deprive the owner of that property.

The jail classifies the listed count as a gross misdemeanor.

The record does not identify the property or describe its value.

It also gives no location or account of the alleged incident.

Separate Count Involves Alleged Fleeing

The same case includes a fleeing count under Minnesota Statute 609.487, subdivision 6.

That law covers attempts to avoid a peace officer through running, hiding, or other nonvehicle means.

The jail shows “PM” in the count’s severity field.

However, the cited statute describes this conduct as a misdemeanor.

The supplied record does not explain the different labels.

It also gives no account of an alleged chase or other encounter.

Domestic Assault Count Under Another Case

A second jail case, 26-015685, lists a domestic assault count.

It cites Minnesota Statute 609.2242, subdivision 2.

This provision concerns domestic assault when a qualifying earlier offense falls within ten years.

The jail marks the count as a gross misdemeanor.

The supplied entry does not describe the alleged assault or the earlier offense.

It does not establish whether the two jail cases involve related events.

Custody and Court Information

Patterson’s listed custody date is Saturday, October 24, 2026.

The bail or fine field shows $0.00.

That figure does not establish release eligibility or any court-ordered conditions.

No scheduled hearing, plea, conviction, or final result appears in the supplied listing.

The entry also cannot confirm Patterson’s current custody status.

Further court filings may provide details that are not available in this record.
