Bemidji Woman Booked on Felony Drug Charge<\/h2>\n

BEMIDJI<\/strong> (trfnews.i234.me<\/a>) \u2014 Iris Lyons was booked into the Beltrami County Jail on June 26, 2026.<\/p>\n

The jail record lists one felony controlled substance charge against Lyons.<\/p>\n

The charge alleges possession of methamphetamine or amphetamine within a protected zone.<\/p>\n

The listed case number is 26-011279.<\/p>\n

The case is assigned to the District Court, according to the booking information.<\/p>\n

Third-Degree Drug Charge Listed<\/h2>\n

The allegation cites Minnesota Statute 152.023, subdivision 2(a)(6).<\/p>\n

That law covers methamphetamine or amphetamine possession within several protected locations.<\/p>\n

Those locations include school zones, park zones, public housing zones, and drug treatment facilities.<\/p>\n

The booking record does not identify the specific substance involved.<\/p>\n

It also does not list the amount allegedly found.<\/p>\n

No information about the alleged protected location was included.<\/p>\n

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

Booking Information<\/h2>\n

The jail record lists Lyons at 5 feet, 5 inches tall.<\/p>\n

Her listed weight is 185 pounds.<\/p>\n

The roster lists black hair and brown eyes.<\/p>\n

The bail or fine field showed $0.00 when the information was provided.<\/p>\n

That amount does not explain whether Lyons could be released.<\/p>\n

Release conditions may change after a judge reviews the case.<\/p>\n

No court date appeared in the supplied jail information.<\/p>\n

Possible Penalties<\/h2>\n

Minnesota law<\/a> classifies the listed offense as a third-degree controlled substance crime.<\/p>\n

A conviction can bring up to 20 years in prison.<\/p>\n

The statute also allows a fine of up to $250,000.<\/p>\n

A court may impose imprisonment, a fine, or both.<\/p>\n

These are maximum penalties and do not predict the case\u2019s outcome.<\/p>\n

Any sentence would depend on the evidence and Minnesota sentencing rules.<\/p>\n

Court and Custody Updates<\/h2>\n

Beltrami County District Court<\/a> is located in Bemidji.<\/p>\n

The court handles criminal and traffic cases filed within Beltrami County.<\/p>\n

Public updates may appear through Minnesota Court Records Online<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Custody information may also change after hearings or new court orders.<\/p>\n

Charge Remains an Allegation<\/h2>\n

A jail booking document includes custody and the charge listed at that time.<\/p>\n

It does not establish guilt or prove that a crime occurred.<\/p>\n

Lyons is presumed innocent unless the allegation is proven in court.<\/p>\n
