Beltrami County: Tavian Lyons Faces Six Listed Counts

BELTRAMI COUNTY (trfnews.i234.me) — Tavian Lyons was listed in custody at Beltrami County Jail on October 11, 2026.

The supplied jail record lists six counts across three case numbers. Four entries are marked as felonies, one as a gross misdemeanor, and one as a petty misdemeanor.

The allegations involve firearm possession, controlled substances, card fraud, stolen property, and interactions with law enforcement.

Firearm and Drug Counts

Case 26-019364 includes a felony count involving firearm or ammunition possession by a person legally barred from possession.

The cited law concerns people with a qualifying prior conviction or juvenile finding for a crime of violence.

The jail summary does not identify any alleged earlier offense or establish the facts behind that count.

Readers can review Minnesota Statute 624.713 for the legal requirements.

The same case lists felony fifth-degree controlled substance possession. The description covers certain controlled substances or residue found in drug paraphernalia.

The record does not name a drug, give a quantity, or describe where anything was allegedly found.

That offense is addressed under Minnesota Statute 152.025.

Fleeing and Obstruction Allegations

Case 26-019364 also lists fleeing a peace officer without using a motor vehicle.

The jail marks that entry as a petty misdemeanor. However, Minnesota Statute 609.487 describes the cited offense as a misdemeanor.

The difference should be checked against the official court filing.

Another entry alleges obstruction of legal process through interference with a peace officer. The jail lists that count as a felony.

No details explain the alleged encounter, and no officer names appear in the supplied record.

Separate Fraud and Stolen Property Cases

Case 26-017889 lists gross misdemeanor financial transaction card fraud. The allegation concerns use of a card without the cardholder’s consent.

The source does not identify a cardholder, transaction amount, or business involved.

Case 26-018345 lists felony receiving stolen property. The jail summary does not identify the property or its reported value.

Minnesota laws covering these allegations include Section 609.821 and Section 609.53.

Custody and Court Status

The jail lists a custody date of October 11, 2026, and a bail or fine amount of $0.

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

District Court appears beside the listed counts, but the supplied record gives no hearing date.

Current case details may be available through the Minnesota Judicial Branch public records portal.

These are listed allegations, not findings of guilt. Lyons is presumed innocent unless proven guilty in court.
