Bagley Jail Books Wayne Beaulieu on DWI Allegations

BAGLEY (trfnews.i234.me) — Wayne Beaulieu, 36, appears in a recent Clearwater County Jail booking entry.

The entry lists his booking time as 12:39 a.m. on Sunday, October 25, 2026.

Two DWI-related descriptions appear beside his name. One concerns alleged driving under the influence of a controlled substance.

The other identifies fourth-degree driving while impaired under Minnesota law.

The excerpt does not identify the alleged substance, the arrest location, or the circumstances of the traffic stop.

Controlled-Substance DWI Allegation

The first entry cites Minnesota Statute 169A.20, subdivision 1(2).

That law prohibits driving, operating, or controlling a motor vehicle while under the influence of a controlled substance.

The allegation does not, by itself, identify any drug or establish that Beaulieu was impaired.

The booking information provides no test results, driving observations, or statements from those involved.

It also does not say whether investigators obtained a chemical test or any other evidence.

Fourth-Degree DWI Also Listed

The second entry cites Minnesota Statute 169A.27, subdivision 1.

State law describes fourth-degree DWI as a misdemeanor. The listing includes that classification alongside the controlled-substance allegation.

The two entries may describe different legal aspects of the same alleged driving incident.

The supplied excerpt does not show whether prosecutors have filed separate counts in District Court.

What the Booking Record Does Not Show

The excerpt identifies Beaulieu as an adult male, age 36, and lists the time of booking.

It provides no court case number, bail amount, hearing date, or release conditions.

It also does not say whether Beaulieu has made an initial court appearance.

The booking time is not necessarily the time of the alleged offense or arrest.

The entry does not establish whether Beaulieu remains in custody.

Further information may appear if officials release an incident report or court documents.

Where to Check Official Records

The Clearwater County Jail is located in Bagley, Minnesota.

Readers can visit the county’s inmate list for updated custody information.

County officials caution that booking allegations can change as cases proceed.

Public case information may also be available through Minnesota Court Records Online.

Some pending criminal cases do not appear in searches by a person’s name.

A jail booking entry is not a conviction. Beaulieu is presumed innocent unless proven guilty in court.
