Beltrami County (trfnews.i234.me)<\/a><\/strong> Natasha Jean Nevitt<\/strong> of Bemidji has been charged in Beltrami County District Court after a March 19, 2026, incident that led to a felony DWI refusal count and a gross misdemeanor driving count.<\/p>\n

Charges Filed<\/h2>\n

According to the criminal complaint, Nevitt, 45, is charged with refusing a chemical test and driving after cancellation that was listed as inimical to public safety.<\/p>\n

The complaint says the case was filed in the Ninth Judicial District under court file 04-CR-26-686.<\/p>\n

Prosecutors allege Nevitt was in control of a running vehicle in Bemidji on March 19.<\/p>\n

What Investigators Alleged<\/h2>\n

The complaint says officers responded to a report of a person honking a vehicle horn near 409 Wood Avenue SE.<\/p>\n

When authorities arrived, they found a running vehicle with Natasha Jean Nevitt inside.<\/p>\n

Court records say she showed several signs of impairment.<\/p>\n

Those signs included slurred speech, watery eyes, poor balance, and slow responses.<\/p>\n

The complaint says Nevitt admitted she had been drinking earlier.<\/p>\n

She then agreed to some field sobriety testing.<\/p>\n

A preliminary breath test later showed an alleged alcohol concentration of 0.246, according to the complaint.<\/p>\n

Refusal Allegation<\/h2>\n

Investigators say Natasha Jean Nevitt was taken to the Beltrami County Jail.<\/p>\n

The complaint states she was given access to contact an attorney.<\/p>\n

It also says she later refused to take a formal breath test.<\/p>\n

That refusal led to the felony count in this case.<\/p>\n

Prior Record Cited<\/h2>\n

The complaint also says her license status was cancelled.<\/p>\n

Authorities further cited a prior felony DWI conviction and a prior DAC-IPS conviction.<\/p>\n

Those prior cases are listed in the complaint as part of the background.<\/p>\n

Case Status<\/h2>\n

These are criminal charges only. They are not a conviction.<\/p>\n

Formal charges and case records can be reviewed through the Minnesota Judicial Branch<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Minnesota DWI law information is also available through the Minnesota Revisor of Statutes<\/a>.<\/p>\n
