The first charge is a felony. It alleges Risland operated a motor vehicle with any amount of a Schedule I or II drug, or its metabolite, in his system. The booking entry says cannabis and hemp were not included in that charge description.<\/p>\n<p>The second charge is listed as a gross misdemeanor. It alleges fifth-degree drug possession involving a Schedule I, II, III, or IV substance, or drug paraphernalia residue, not cannabis or hemp. The case is listed for District Court.<\/p>\n<p>Risland is listed as 6 feet tall and 190 pounds. The booking record lists blond hair and blue eyes. Bail was listed at $0.00 at the time of booking. No court date was shown in the details provided.<\/p>\n<h2>Charges Listed in the Case<\/h2>\n<p>The felony DWI-related count is listed under <a href=\"https:\/\/www.revisor.mn.gov\/statutes\/cite\/169A.20\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Minnesota Statute 169A.20<\/a>. That section covers impaired driving offenses, including driving with certain controlled substances or metabolites in the body.<\/p>\n<p>The second count is listed under <a href=\"https:\/\/www.revisor.mn.gov\/statutes\/cite\/152.025\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Minnesota Statute 152.025<\/a>. That section covers fifth-degree controlled substance crimes, including some possession offenses.<\/p>\n<p>The booking record gives only a basic look at the case. It lists the booking date, physical description, charge language, and court branch. It does not include a police narrative. It also does not explain where the stop or arrest happened.<\/p>\n<p>That means the public record is still limited. More details may appear later in court filings. A first hearing may also add facts about the case.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_26120\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-26120\" style=\"width: 208px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-26120\" src=\"https:\/\/trfnews.i234.me\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/RislandJoe.png\" alt=\"Joe Risland\" width=\"208\" height=\"212\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-26120\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Joe Risland<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h2>What Happens Next<\/h2>\n<p>The case is expected to move through <a href=\"https:\/\/mncourts.gov\/find-courts\/beltrami\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Beltrami County District Court<\/a>.
