That law classifies a DWI as third-degree when one aggravating factor was present.

It also does not describe the circumstances that led to Neadeau’s arrest.

No details were provided about any alcohol test or field sobriety test.

The available information also does not state where the alleged driving occurred.

Beltrami County lists its Adult Corrections Center in Bemidji.

The booking information identifies District Court as the court branch for both charges.

The jail information lists Neadeau’s height as 5 feet, 11 inches.

It lists his weight as 290 pounds.

The record describes his hair as black and his eyes as brown.

Those physical details come from the booking information provided for this report.
