Bemidji Woman Booked on Drug, Contraband Charges

Bemidji (trfnews.i234.me) — Loree Jackson was booked into the Beltrami County Jail on August 4, 2026.

The jail record lists three entries under case number 2026012470.

Two entries relate to Minnesota’s fifth-degree controlled substance law. The third involves alleged contraband inside a correctional facility.

Drug Possession Allegation

The first felony entry cites Minnesota Statute 152.025, subdivision 2(a)(1).

That section covers possession of certain Schedule I, II, III, or IV controlled substances.

The listed description excludes cannabis and hemp. The record does not identify the substance or amount involved.

Readers can review Minnesota Statute 152.025 through the Minnesota Revisor of Statutes.

A second felony entry cites subdivision 4(b) of the same statute.

The booking description labels that entry as fifth-degree controlled substance sale or possession.

However, subdivision 4(b) sets penalties for certain fifth-degree drug convictions. It does not describe a separate criminal act.

Formal court documents may explain why that subsection appears as a separate booking entry.

The third entry cites Minnesota Statute 641.165, subdivision 2(a).

It alleges introducing contraband into a jail, lockup, or correctional facility.

The law also covers possessing contraband inside a facility or on its grounds.

The booking record classifies this allegation as a gross misdemeanor.

Readers can review Minnesota Statute 641.165 for more information.

The supplied record does not explain how the alleged contraband was discovered.

It also does not identify the substance involved. No criminal complaint was included with the booking information.

The record lists Jackson at five feet, eight inches tall and 160 pounds.

It lists black hair and brown eyes. The bail or fine field shows $0.00.

No court date appears in the information provided. The court branch is listed as District Court.

A jail booking is not proof of guilt. Jackson is presumed innocent unless proven guilty in court.

Charges may change after prosecutors review evidence and file formal court documents.
