Bemidji Man Faces Two Domestic Abuse Charges

BEMIDJI (trfnews.i234.me) — Silas Botello was booked into the Beltrami County Jail on Thursday, July 30, 2026.

The jail record lists two alleged domestic abuse-related offenses under one case number. The case number is 2026014072.

Booking information lists a bail or fine amount of $0.00. No court date appeared in the information provided.

Booking Details

The record identifies Botello as 5 feet, 10 inches tall and weighing 150 pounds. It lists black hair and brown eyes.

Those details come from the jail booking entry. They do not describe the evidence in the pending case.

One count alleges a violation of an order for protection. The charge is listed under Minnesota Statute 518B.01, subdivision 14(a).

That section covers alleged violations of court-issued protection orders. Readers can review the full Minnesota order-for-protection law.

A second count alleges misdemeanor domestic assault. That charge is listed under Minnesota Statute 609.2242, subdivision 1(2).

The statute covers intentionally causing, or trying to cause, bodily harm. It applies when the alleged victim is a family or household member.

The complete law is available through the Minnesota Revisor of Statutes.

The booking record does not provide a detailed account of the alleged incident. It also does not identify an alleged victim.

The booking entry lists District Court as the court branch. No hearing date was shown.

Court dates may be added after prosecutors file documents. Judges may also set release terms during later proceedings.

Public case information may become available through Minnesota Court Records Online.

That service provides access to many public district court records.

The Beltrami County inmate locator states that a booking does not establish guilt.

The county also warns that online information may change or contain errors.

A criminal charge is only an accusation. Botello is presumed innocent unless proven guilty in court.

The case remains pending based on the booking information provided. Additional details may be released through court filings.
