THIEF RIVER FALLS, Minn. (trfnews.i234.me) — Jocelyn Irene Dow, 41, appears in a Pennington County Jail booking entry listing four alleged offenses.
The charges include driving while impaired, felony fleeing in a motor vehicle, and driving after license cancellation.
The entry identifies Dow’s inmate type as “BELTR,” indicating a Beltrami County connection.
Beltrami County Police Pursuit Reported
A separate Beltrami County criminal complaint describes a vehicle pursuit on October 17, 2026.
According to MN CRIME’s report, police pursued Dow after receiving reports of dangerous driving.
The complaint alleges that the vehicle traveled at speeds reaching 110 mph. It also alleges that the vehicle nearly struck an officer.
The pursuit reportedly continued for approximately 20 to 25 miles, crossing from the Red Lake Reservation into Beltrami County.
Authorities eventually stopped the vehicle. Dow was arrested following the pursuit, according to the complaint summary.
The report states that a breath test registered an alcohol concentration of 0.17. That is more than twice Minnesota’s standard 0.08 legal limit.
Four Charges Listed in Jail Entry
The supplied Pennington County booking information lists four alleged offenses under Minnesota law.
Driving While Impaired: Under Minnesota Statute 169A.20, Dow is listed with an alcohol-related DWI offense.
The entry classifies this offense as a gross misdemeanor.
Felony Fleeing: Under Minnesota Statute 609.487, Dow is accused of fleeing a peace officer using a motor vehicle.
This offense is classified as a felony and carries a possible prison sentence if convicted.
Driving After Cancellation: Under Minnesota Statute 171.24, Dow is accused of driving after her license was canceled for public safety reasons.
That offense is listed as a gross misdemeanor.
Second-Degree DWI: The entry also lists Minnesota Statute 169A.25, involving two or more aggravating factors.
Second-degree DWI is classified as a gross misdemeanor under Minnesota law.
Court Filing Lists First-Degree DWI
A separate Beltrami County court filing dated October 19 lists three criminal charges against Dow.
Those charges include first-degree DWI, felony fleeing, and driving after license cancellation.
The first-degree DWI allegation differs from the second-degree DWI entry in the supplied jail information.
The reason for that difference has not been confirmed. The formal court filing should be used to verify the charges being prosecuted.
Jail Booking and Court Updates
The supplied booking information does not include a bond amount, booking date, or scheduled court hearing.
Readers can check the Pennington County Sheriff’s Office inmate search for custody information.
