The charges were filed in Beltrami County District Court.<\/p>\n<p>According to the criminal complaint, <strong>Amanda Marie Iceman, 30, of Bemidji<\/strong>, is charged with fourth-degree burglary, theft, and fleeing a peace officer on foot. The case stems from an incident reported on February 26, 2026.<\/p>\n<h2>What the Complaint Says<\/h2>\n<p>The complaint says police were called to Walmart at about 7:00 p.m. for a report of a possible shoplifter. When an officer arrived, the officer allegedly saw Iceman leaving through an emergency exit while carrying unpaid merchandise.<\/p>\n<p>Court records say the officer activated emergency lights and approached Iceman outside the store. The complaint says Iceman then walked away. After being told to stop, she allegedly kept going and then ran.<\/p>\n<p>Authorities say she was later caught and taken into custody. Walmart asset protection reviewed the case and said the total value of the unpaid items was <strong>$602.14<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<h2>Prior Trespass Order Alleged<\/h2>\n<p>The complaint also states that Iceman had been trespassed for life from the Bemidji Walmart on April 8, 2025. Prosecutors allege she later admitted she knew she was not allowed to return to the store.<\/p>\n<p>That detail is important to the burglary charge. Minnesota law allows a burglary count in some cases when a person enters a public building and steals after being told not to return.<\/p>\n<h2>Charges Filed<\/h2>\n<p>Iceman now faces the following charges:<\/p>\n<p>Count one is <a href=\"https:\/\/www.revisor.mn.gov\/statutes\/cite\/609.582\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">fourth-degree burglary<\/a>, a gross misdemeanor.<\/p>\n<p>Count two is <a href=\"https:\/\/www.revisor.mn.gov\/statutes\/cite\/609.52\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">theft of movable property<\/a> valued between $500 and $1,000, also a gross misdemeanor.<\/p>\n<p>Count three is <a href=\"https:\/\/www.revisor.mn.gov\/statutes\/cite\/609.487\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">fleeing a peace officer by means other than a motor vehicle<\/a>, a misdemeanor.<\/p>\n<p>Gross misdemeanors in Minnesota can carry up to 364 days in jail, a $3,000 fine, or both. The fleeing charge carries a lower maximum penalty.<\/p>\n<h2>Case Status<\/h2>\n<p>The case was filed under court file number <strong>04-CR-26-535<\/strong> in the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mncourts.gov\/Find-Courts\/Beltrami.aspx\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Beltrami County District Court<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>As with all criminal cases, the charges are allegations.
