Bemidji Woman Faces 3 Charges After Home Damage

Bemidji (trfnews.i234.me) — A Bemidji woman faces three charges following an alleged late-night incident at a Beltrami County residence.

Jessica Lynn Redeagle, 39, is charged with felony first-degree property damage.

She also faces gross misdemeanor child endangerment and misdemeanor fifth-degree assault.

The charges stem from an incident reported shortly before midnight on July 26, 2026.

Window Allegedly Broken At Residence

Beltrami County deputies responded after a caller reported someone trying to enter a home through a window.

The caller identified the person as Redeagle, according to the criminal complaint.

Prosecutors say Redeagle arrived at the residence in a red Dodge Caravan.

She allegedly broke a window and attempted to damage vehicles at the property.

Investigators were told Redeagle left before law enforcement arrived.

Officers examining the residence reported additional damage inside the home.

The complaint says Redeagle allegedly reached through the broken window and knocked over a hutch.

She was also accused of nearly breaking through the home’s front door.

The felony property damage charge alleges the damage reduced the property’s value by more than $1,000.

Law enforcement later spotted a red Dodge van traveling on Mission Road.

The complaint describes the vehicle as traveling at a high rate of speed.

An officer stopped the van and identified Redeagle as the driver.

Prosecutors say Redeagle initially failed to follow commands during the stop.

Officers eventually detained her while confirming the circumstances at the residence.

An infant child was found inside the vehicle with Redeagle.

No other occupants were inside, according to the complaint.

The child endangerment count alleges Redeagle placed the infant in a situation likely to cause substantial harm.

Redeagle was taken to the Beltrami County Jail following her arrest.

After being advised of her rights, she allegedly spoke with investigators.

The complaint says Redeagle admitted going to the residence intending to scare the caller.

She also allegedly admitted punching out a window at the home.

Redeagle faces up to five years in prison on the felony property damage charge.

That charge also carries a possible $10,000 fine.

Readers can review Minnesota Statute 609.595 regarding property damage.

Child endangerment law appears under Minnesota Statute 609.378.

Additional court information is available through the Minnesota Judicial Branch.

The charges are allegations and have not been proven in court.

Redeagle is presumed innocent unless proven guilty.
