Bemidji<\/strong> (trfnews.i234.me<\/a>) \u2014 A Bemidji woman is facing two charges after a late-night traffic stop in Beltrami County, according to a criminal complaint filed in District Court.<\/p>\n

Traffic Stop in Bemidji<\/h2>\n

Prosecutors allege Rasharon Kaye King, 18, was stopped at about 11:50 p.m. on March 7, 2026. The stop happened near Paul Bunyan Drive NW and Delton Avenue NW in Bemidji.<\/p>\n

The complaint says the vehicle had a loud exhaust. The car then stopped in the parking lot of 1171 Paul Bunyan Drive NW.<\/p>\n

According to the complaint, King showed signs of impairment during the stop. Investigators reported glassy eyes, constant fidgeting, and pupils with little reaction to light.<\/p>\n

What the Complaint Alleges<\/h2>\n

Court records say King did not successfully complete the field sobriety tests that were given. One test was not done because of strong winds.<\/p>\n

The complaint says King admitted using fentanyl the night before. It also says she later admitted to methamphetamine use at the hospital.<\/p>\n

Investigators then obtained a search warrant for a blood or urine sample. The complaint says King agreed to provide a blood sample.<\/p>\n

The main charge alleges King drove with a Schedule I or II drug, or its metabolite, in her body. That charge is listed as a gross misdemeanor under Minnesota law.<\/p>\n

The second charge alleges King drove after her license had been revoked. That count is listed as a misdemeanor.<\/p>\n

Prior Revocation Cited<\/h2>\n

The complaint says King\u2019s driving privileges were revoked on Nov. 15, 2025. Prosecutors allege that revocation was still active on the date of this stop.<\/p>\n

The filing also points to an earlier Beltrami County impaired driving case as part of the background in this matter.<\/p>\n

Case Status<\/h2>\n

These charges are allegations only. King has not been convicted in this case. The matter was filed in Beltrami County District Court under case number 04-CR-26-589.<\/p>\n
