Beltrami County: Keith Carmona Jailed on Assault Charge

BELTRAMI COUNTY, MN (trfnews.i234.me) – Keith Carmona was booked into the Beltrami County Jail on October 16, 2026, according to jail records.

The booking lists allegations of second-degree assault with a dangerous weapon and third-degree riot.

Both offenses appear under jail case number 26016845.

The second-degree assault allegation is a felony under Minnesota law.

The jail also labels the third-degree riot allegation as a felony, although state law classifies that offense differently.

Second-Degree Assault With Dangerous Weapon

The most serious allegation involves second-degree assault under Minnesota Statute 609.222, subdivision 1.

This law addresses assaults involving a dangerous weapon.

A conviction under this provision can carry up to seven years in prison.

The statute also allows a fine of up to $14,000, or both penalties.

However, these are maximum penalties and do not represent a sentence against Carmona.

The available jail information does not identify the weapon allegedly involved.

It also does not describe the reported assault or identify any alleged victim.

No information was provided about possible injuries or the location of the incident.

Third-Degree Riot Allegation

The second allegation involves third-degree riot under Minnesota Statute 609.71, subdivision 3.

Minnesota law addresses situations involving three or more people who disturb public peace through unlawful force, violence, or threats.

The law can apply when those actions involve another person or property.

The jail roster labels Carmona’s riot allegation as a felony.

However, the Minnesota Bureau of Criminal Apprehension classifies third-degree riot as a gross misdemeanor.

The statute allows up to 364 days in jail and a fine of up to $1,000.

The available information does not explain the difference in classifications.

The record also does not identify other alleged participants or establish whether any property was damaged.
