Bemidji Jail Books Justin Knapp on Drug Charge
BEMIDJI (trfnews.i234.me) — Justin Knapp was booked into the Beltrami County Jail on July 28, 2026.
The jail record lists two controlled substance entries under separate case numbers. Both entries cite the same Minnesota law and charge description.
The listed case numbers are 2026013919 and 26-010393. The supplied record does not explain whether they represent separate cases.
Fifth-Degree Drug Allegations
The jail identifies both allegations as fifth-degree controlled substance possession. Each entry cites Minnesota Statute 152.025, subdivision 2(a)(1).
The law covers possession of certain Schedule I, II, III, or IV controlled substances. It can also cover drug residue inside paraphernalia.
Cannabis flower, cannabis products, and certain hemp products are excluded from this part of the law.
The jail record classifies both entries as felony-level allegations. However, the final level can depend on the amount and prior convictions.
The booking information does not identify the alleged substance. It also does not list an amount or describe any paraphernalia.
Readers can review Minnesota Statute 152.025 through the Office of the Revisor of Statutes.
Custody and Court Status
Knapp entered custody on July 28. The record showed $0.00 in the bail or fine field.
That figure does not always mean release without conditions. The available record did not explain Knapp’s release or hold status.
No court date was listed in the information provided. Both entries were assigned to District Court.
Readers can search Minnesota Court Records Online for public case information.
The Beltrami County inmate locator may also provide updated custody details. Records can change after court hearings.
Charges Remain Allegations
A jail booking does not prove that a person committed a crime. Criminal charges remain allegations until resolved in court.
Knapp is presumed innocent unless proven guilty beyond a reasonable doubt.
The jail warns that online records may contain errors. Readers should not rely on booking information for legal action.
This report is based only on the available booking record. It does not include a police report or criminal complaint.
