Bemidji: Jordan Witzzek Booked on Arson Charge<\/h2>\n

Bemidji<\/strong> (trfnews.i234.me<\/a>) \u2014 Jordan Witzzek was booked into the Beltrami County Jail on June 21, 2026.<\/p>\n

The booking record lists two misdemeanor charges under case number 26-010981.<\/p>\n

One count alleges fifth-degree arson involving real or personal property.<\/p>\n

The second count alleges fourth-degree intentional damage to property.<\/p>\n

Fifth-Degree Arson Allegation<\/h2>\n

The first charge cites Minnesota Statute 609.5632.<\/p>\n

The law covers intentionally setting fire to real or personal property of value.<\/p>\n

Readers can review the fifth-degree arson statute<\/a> through Minnesota\u2019s official website.<\/p>\n

The supplied record does not identify the property involved.<\/p>\n

It also does not describe the alleged fire or report any estimated damage.<\/p>\n

No injuries were listed in the information provided.<\/p>\n

Property Damage Charge<\/h2>\n

The second charge cites Minnesota Statute 609.595, subdivision 3.<\/p>\n

That section covers intentional property damage under circumstances not covered by more serious levels.<\/p>\n

The law classifies fourth-degree property damage as a misdemeanor.<\/p>\n

The full law appears on the Minnesota Revisor of Statutes website<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The jail record does not state whether both charges involve the same property.<\/p>\n

Those details may appear later in a criminal complaint.<\/p>\n

Court Information Pending<\/h2>\n

The case is assigned to the District Court.<\/p>\n

No court date appears in the supplied booking information.<\/p>\n

The bail or fine field shows $0.00.<\/p>\n

That entry does not explain Witzzek\u2019s custody status or release conditions.<\/p>\n

No height, weight, hair color, or eye color was provided.<\/p>\n

Readers can find detention-center information through the Beltrami County website<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Charges Remain Allegations<\/h2>\n

A jail booking does not establish guilt.<\/p>\n

Witzzek is presumed innocent unless proven guilty in court.<\/p>\n

Charges can be changed, reduced, or dismissed as a case proceeds.<\/p>\n

TRF News will update this report when verified court information becomes available.<\/p>\n
