Bemidji: Lindell Booked on Child Communication Charge<\/h2>\n

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

The jail record lists one felony charge involving alleged electronic communication with a child.<\/p>\n

The charge alleges communication that related to or described sexual conduct.<\/p>\n

The listed case number is 24012622.<\/p>\n

The matter is assigned to the District Court, according to the jail entry.<\/p>\n

Electronic Communication Charge<\/h2>\n

The allegation cites Minnesota Statute 609.352, subdivision 2a(2).<\/p>\n

The law covers certain electronic communications involving a child or someone believed to be a child.<\/p>\n

The communication must allegedly relate to or describe sexual conduct.<\/p>\n

The law also requires an alleged intent to arouse someone\u2019s sexual desire.<\/p>\n

The brief jail entry does not describe the reported messages.<\/p>\n

It also does not identify the electronic service or device allegedly used.<\/p>\n

No information about the child was included in the public booking record.<\/p>\n

Booking and Court Information<\/h2>\n

The record lists a custody date of June 26, 2026.<\/p>\n

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

That figure does not explain whether Lindell may be released.<\/p>\n

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

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

The record also did not include height, weight, hair color, or eye color.<\/p>\n

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

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

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

Possible Penalties<\/h2>\n

Minnesota Statute 609.352<\/a> classifies the listed offense as a felony.<\/p>\n

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

The law also allows a fine of up to $10,000.<\/p>\n

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

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

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

Charge Remains an Allegation<\/h2>\n

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

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

Lindell is presumed innocent unless the charge is proven in court.<\/p>\n
