Bemidji Jail Booking: Kelsey Armstrong Faces DWI

BELTRAMI COUNTY, Minn. (trfnews.i234.me) — Kelsey Armstrong was booked into the Beltrami County Jail on July 2, 2026.

The jail record lists one felony first-degree driving while impaired charge. The case number is 26-010277.

The charge cites Minnesota Statute 169A.24, subdivision 1(1). The law covers certain repeat impaired-driving cases.

Booking information says the allegation involves three or more qualified prior incidents within ten years.

The record does not describe the traffic stop or identify the arresting agency.

It also does not list where the alleged offense occurred.

Booking Information

The jail entry lists Armstrong’s bail or fine amount as $0.00.

That figure does not explain any release conditions. A judge may set conditions during a court hearing.

The public booking entry did not provide a court date.

The court branch is listed as Beltrami County District Court.

The court operates from the Beltrami County Judicial Center in Bemidji.

Charge Remains Pending

Minnesota law classifies first-degree DWI as a felony.

However, a criminal charge is only an allegation.

The booking record does not show a plea, conviction, or sentence.

Armstrong is presumed innocent unless proven guilty in court.

The available information does not explain the alleged prior incidents.

Those details may appear later in a criminal complaint or other court filing.

Court documents may also provide hearing dates, release terms, and supporting allegations.

Readers can review the cited law through the Minnesota Revisor of Statutes.

Case information may appear in the Beltrami County District Court.

The Beltrami County inmate locator may provide custody updates.

Jail records can change as cases move through the court system.

A booking does not establish that someone committed a crime.

The county’s inmate website includes a similar warning for users.

This report is based on jail information available on July 3, 2026.

Future updates should be confirmed through official court records.
