Bagley Jail Books Jesse Jerome on DWI Charges

Bagley (trfnews.i234.me) — Jesse Jerome, 43, was booked into the Clearwater County Jail on Wednesday, July 29, 2026.

The booking time was listed as 7:27 p.m. The jail entry lists two alleged driving while impaired offenses.

The first charge alleges Jerome operated a motor vehicle while under the influence of a controlled substance.

The second charge alleges second-degree driving while impaired with two or more aggravating factors.

The booking entry does not describe the traffic stop or events before the arrest.

Charges Listed in Jail Record

The controlled-substance allegation is listed under Minnesota Statute 169A.20, subdivision 1, clause 2.

That law covers driving, operating, or controlling a motor vehicle while under a controlled substance’s influence.

The second-degree DWI allegation is listed under Minnesota Statute 169A.25, subdivision 1, paragraph a.

State law applies that level when two or more aggravating factors are alleged.

The supplied record does not identify those alleged factors. It also does not describe any prior DWI history.

No substance, test result, or vehicle information appears in the provided booking details.

The entry does not report a crash, injuries, property damage, or passengers.

It also does not identify the road, community, or exact arrest location.

The provided record does not list a court file number. It also does not show a hearing date or bond amount.

Charges filed in court may differ from the initial jail entry. Prosecutors may amend counts after reviewing available evidence.

Readers can review the Clearwater County inmate list for current jail information.

Public court information may later appear through Minnesota Court Records Online.

The county warns that its inmate information may not always be current, accurate, or complete.

The county also states that listed offenses may be initial or amended booking charges.

A booking record is not proof that a crime occurred. It is not a finding of guilt.

Jerome is presumed innocent unless proven guilty through the court process.
