Bemidji Jail Booking: Kelsey Armstrong Faces DWI<\/h2>\n

BELTRAMI COUNTY, Minn.<\/strong> (trfnews.i234.me<\/a>) \u2014 Kelsey Armstrong was booked into the Beltrami County Jail on July 2, 2026.<\/p>\n

The jail record lists one felony first-degree driving while impaired charge. The case number is 26-010277.<\/p>\n

The charge cites Minnesota Statute 169A.24, subdivision 1(1). The law covers certain repeat impaired-driving cases.<\/p>\n

Booking information says the allegation involves three or more qualified prior incidents within ten years.<\/p>\n

The record does not describe the traffic stop or identify the arresting agency.<\/p>\n

It also does not list where the alleged offense occurred.<\/p>\n

Booking Information<\/h2>\n

The jail entry lists Armstrong\u2019s bail or fine amount as $0.00.<\/p>\n

That figure does not explain any release conditions. A judge may set conditions during a court hearing.<\/p>\n

The public booking entry did not provide a court date.<\/p>\n

The court branch is listed as Beltrami County District Court.<\/p>\n

The court operates from the Beltrami County Judicial Center in Bemidji.<\/p>\n

Charge Remains Pending<\/h2>\n

Minnesota law classifies first-degree DWI as a felony.<\/p>\n

However, a criminal charge is only an allegation.<\/p>\n

The booking record does not show a plea, conviction, or sentence.<\/p>\n

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

The available information does not explain the alleged prior incidents.<\/p>\n

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

Court documents may also provide hearing dates, release terms, and supporting allegations.<\/p>\n

Readers can review the cited law through the Minnesota Revisor of Statutes<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Case information may appear in the Beltrami County District Court<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The Beltrami County inmate locator<\/a> may provide custody updates.<\/p>\n

Jail records can change as cases move through the court system.<\/p>\n

A booking does not establish that someone committed a crime.<\/p>\n

The county\u2019s inmate website includes a similar warning for users.<\/p>\n

This report is based on jail information available on July 3, 2026.<\/p>\n

Future updates should be confirmed through official court records.<\/p>\n
