Pennington County<\/strong> (trfnews.i234.me)<\/a> \u2014 Zachary Bielejeski is being held in the Pennington County Jail after felony charges were filed in District Court.<\/p>\n

Court records list two charges in case 77-CR-23-657. One charge alleges third-degree drug possession. The other charge alleges a firearm violation tied to a past violent crime conviction.<\/p>\n

Jail records show Bielejeski was taken into custody on April 9, 2026. The listing shows no bail amount. The court section also shows no court date at this time.<\/p>\n

Charges Filed in District Court<\/h2>\n

The first count accuses Bielejeski of third-degree drug possession. The case summary says the charge involves 10 grams or more of a narcotic drug. It says the drug was not heroin or fentanyl.<\/p>\n

The second count accuses Bielejeski of a firearm violation. The case summary says the charge involves a person convicted of a violent crime. That count is also filed as a felony.<\/p>\n

Both charges are listed in Pennington County District Court. The public case summary does not include the full complaint. It also does not explain the facts behind the arrest.<\/p>\n

What the Public Record Shows<\/h2>\n

The jail record lists Bielejeski as 5 feet 8 inches tall. It lists his weight at 220 pounds. It also lists brown hair and hazel eyes.<\/p>\n

The online record does not show a bond amount. It also does not show a hearing date yet. That can change as the case moves forward.<\/p>\n

Under Minnesota law, third-degree possession can apply to larger drug amounts. The firearm law bars some people with violent crime convictions from having firearms. Readers can review the law at the official Minnesota Revisor website.<\/p>\n

What Comes Next<\/h2>\n

At this stage, these charges are only allegations. They are not a conviction. Bielejeski has the right to respond in court and challenge the case.<\/p>\n

More details may become public after future filings or hearings. For now, the public record shows a felony drug charge, a felony firearm charge, and custody in the Pennington County Jail.<\/p>\n
