Bemidji Jail Books Kenneth Rodriguez on DWI Charges<\/h2>\n

BEMIDJI (trfnews.i234.me<\/a>)<\/strong> \u2014 Kenneth Rodriguez was booked into the Beltrami County Jail on Wednesday, July 1, 2026.<\/p>\n

The jail record lists two DWI-related charges under Minnesota law. Both charges are listed as gross misdemeanors.<\/p>\n

Rodriguez remains presumed innocent unless proven guilty in court. A jail booking does not show guilt or a conviction.<\/p>\n

Booking Details<\/h2>\n

The record lists Rodriguez at five feet, nine inches tall. His listed weight is 165 pounds.<\/p>\n

The profile lists gray hair and brown eyes. The booking information showed a $0 bail or fine amount.<\/p>\n

No court date was listed in the information provided. The case is assigned to the Minnesota District Court.<\/p>\n

Second-Degree DWI Charge<\/h2>\n

Rodriguez faces one count under Minnesota Statute 169A.25, subdivision 1(a)<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The charge alleges second-degree driving while impaired with two or more aggravating factors.<\/p>\n

Minnesota law classifies second-degree DWI as a gross misdemeanor. The law covers enhanced DWI cases involving aggravating factors.<\/p>\n

The public case number is 26-3210006.<\/p>\n

Chemical Test Refusal Charge<\/h2>\n

Rodriguez also faces a charge under Minnesota Statute 169A.20, subdivision 2(2)<\/a>.<\/p>\n

That count alleges refusal to submit to a blood or urine test required by a search warrant.<\/p>\n

Minnesota law makes that refusal a crime when a valid warrant requires the test.<\/p>\n

The charge is also listed as a gross misdemeanor in the booking record.<\/p>\n

Court Process Still Pending<\/h2>\n

The booking record did not list a scheduled court appearance. Court dates can change as a case moves forward.<\/p>\n

Readers can check the Beltrami County inmate search<\/a> for updated custody information.<\/p>\n

The Beltrami County Adult Corrections Center<\/a> also provides jail information.<\/p>\n

Court records may provide future hearing dates and filing details.<\/p>\n

The charges remain allegations. Prosecutors must prove each charge beyond a reasonable doubt.<\/p>\n

Rodriguez may enter a plea and challenge the evidence during the court process.<\/p>\n

No further details about the traffic stop were included in the booking information.<\/p>\n
