Bemidji: Thomas Humiston Listed on Two Sex Crime Counts

BEMIDJI (trfnews.i234.me) — A Beltrami County Jail entry lists Thomas Humiston on two felony criminal sexual conduct counts.

The supplied record shows a custody date of Monday, October 26, 2026.

Both entries concern alleged first-degree criminal sexual conduct under Minnesota law.

However, the jail record contains no description of the alleged incidents or their dates.

Two First-Degree Sexual Conduct Counts Listed

The first entry cites Minnesota Statute 609.342, subdivision 1(a).

That provision addresses alleged sexual penetration involving reasonable fear of imminent great bodily harm.

The second entry cites subdivision 1(c)(i) of the same statute.

That provision addresses alleged sexual penetration accompanied by personal injury and coercion.

The jail classifies both entries as felonies and identifies District Court as the court branch.

Both rows display reference number 24009892.

The excerpt does not confirm whether that number is an official district court file number.

Minnesota Statute 609.342 defines several forms of first-degree criminal sexual conduct.

Each cited provision describes a separate legal basis for an alleged offense.

The statute generally authorizes up to 30 years in prison, a $40,000 fine, or both.

Other sentencing provisions may affect a particular case.

These are possible penalties upon conviction, not a sentence imposed on Humiston.

The jail listing alone does not establish that either allegation has been proven.

The excerpt does not identify any alleged victim, incident location, or investigative agency.

It includes no charging complaint, witness statements, or account of the events.

Although the record lists two counts, it does not establish whether they concern one incident or multiple incidents.

The jail’s bail or fine field displays $0.00.

That figure should not be interpreted as a judicial release decision or confirmation that no bail applies.

No court date appears in the supplied table.

The custody date also does not confirm whether Humiston remains detained after that date.

The sheriff’s website warns that a booking does not establish guilt or a criminal conviction.

Readers may also check Minnesota Court Records Online for available criminal case information.

An official complaint would provide more detail about the allegations and any upcoming court proceedings.

Humiston is presumed innocent unless proven guilty in court.
