Bemidji Booking Lists Canceled-License Charge

BEMIDJI, Minn. (trfnews.i234.me) — Troy Faughn was booked into the Beltrami County Jail on July 4, 2026.

The jail record lists one gross misdemeanor charge under case number 26-010423.

The charge alleges driving after a license cancellation tied to public safety concerns.

The supplied record does not identify where the alleged driving occurred.

It also does not describe the traffic stop or any related event.

Charge Listed as Gross Misdemeanor

The booking entry cites Minnesota Statute 171.24, subdivision 5.

That law covers driving after a license was canceled or denied under specific public safety rules.

The law also requires notice, or reasonable knowledge, of the cancellation or denial.

The person must then allegedly drive a vehicle that requires a license.

The charge remains an allegation unless proven in court.

The record lists Faughn’s custody date as July 4.

The bail or fine field showed $0.00 when the information was provided.

That amount does not explain whether later release terms could apply.

No court date appeared in the supplied jail information.

The court branch field was also blank.

Court details may change after prosecutors review reports and file documents.

A judge may later set hearing dates, bail, or other release conditions.

Readers can review Minnesota Statute 171.24 through the state Revisor of Statutes.

The official law describes the elements of the gross misdemeanor offense.

Current custody information may appear through the Beltrami County inmate locator.

The county warns that online jail information may contain errors or later changes.

A jail booking does not establish guilt or confirm a conviction.

Faughn is presumed innocent unless proven guilty in court.

Public case updates may later appear through Minnesota Court Records Online.

The court system says online information is not an official court record.

Some documents may be delayed, restricted, or unavailable through the public website.

TRF News will update this report when reliable public details become available.

Those details may include a court date, charging document, or release information.
