Beltrami County: Kevin Langford Jailed on Riot Charge

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

The booking information lists a gross misdemeanor allegation of third-degree riot involving unlawful force or violence.

The allegation falls under Minnesota Statute 609.71, subdivision 3.

The jail roster identifies case number 26016845 in connection with the allegation.

However, the supplied record does not describe the incident that led to Langford’s detention.

Third-Degree Riot Allegation

The Beltrami County Jail roster classifies Langford’s listed offense as a gross misdemeanor.

Minnesota law addresses third-degree riot under Minnesota Statute 609.71.

The offense involves three or more people gathered together who disturb public peace through certain unlawful actions or threats.

Those actions can involve unlawful force or violence directed toward people or property.

The law applies to participants in a gathering that meets the statute’s requirements.

However, the booking record does not identify any other people allegedly involved.

It also does not state whether anyone suffered injuries or whether any property was damaged.

No information was provided about weapons, the location of the reported incident, or the events leading to the allegation.

The available records therefore do not establish the circumstances surrounding the reported disturbance.

The jail record identifies October 16, 2026, as Langford’s custody date.

The booking information also lists a bail or fine amount of $0.00.

That amount does not establish whether bail was denied, waived, or had not yet been entered.

The record does not confirm Langford’s current custody status or identify any release conditions.

The supplied booking information identifies District Court as the court branch associated with the allegation.

However, no scheduled court appearance appears in the record.

The available information also does not establish whether Langford has entered a plea.

Third-degree riot is classified as a gross misdemeanor under Minnesota law.

A conviction can carry a jail sentence of up to 364 days.

The statute also allows a fine of up to $1,000, or both penalties.

These are the maximum statutory penalties, not a sentence imposed against Langford.

Minnesota law also recognizes more serious riot offenses involving additional circumstances.

However, the supplied booking record lists only third-degree riot in this case.

Additional information may become available through Minnesota Court Records Online.

The public system provides access to available criminal case details, hearing dates, and certain court documents.

Readers can also visit the Minnesota Judicial Branch for information about public records.

The jail listing alone does not confirm whether prosecutors have filed a formal criminal complaint.

It also does not establish whether other people face allegations related to the same reported incident.

Langford is presumed innocent unless proven guilty in a court of law.

Further updates will depend on verified court filings and official records.
