Bemidji Booking: William Blackwell Faces Theft Charge<\/h2>\n

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

The jail record lists one felony theft charge. The case number is 26-011899.<\/p>\n

The charge cites Minnesota Statute 609.52, subdivision 2(a)(15). The listed allegation involves diverting corporate property.<\/p>\n

The booking entry does not identify the company involved. It also does not state the property\u2019s value.<\/p>\n

No details about the alleged conduct were included in the information provided for this report.<\/p>\n

Booking Information<\/h2>\n

The record lists Blackwell\u2019s bail or fine amount as $0.00. That figure does not explain any release conditions.<\/p>\n

A judge may set conditions during a court hearing. The public booking record did not list a court date.<\/p>\n

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

The booking record lists Blackwell at 6 feet, 3 inches tall. It lists his weight as 265 pounds.<\/p>\n

The record also lists black hair and green eyes. These details are included for identification purposes.<\/p>\n

Understanding the Charge<\/h2>\n

Minnesota\u2019s theft law includes several forms of alleged theft. This section concerns corporate property used outside approved business purposes.<\/p>\n

The law also requires an alleged intent to defraud. However, the jail record provides no supporting facts.<\/p>\n

It does not describe any financial loss. It also does not name any alleged victim.<\/p>\n

Those details may appear later in a criminal complaint. They may also appear in other court filings.<\/p>\n

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

Case Remains Pending<\/h2>\n

A jail booking is not proof of guilt. The listed charge remains an allegation unless proven in court.<\/p>\n

Blackwell is presumed innocent unless a court determines otherwise.<\/p>\n

The record does not show a plea, conviction, or sentence. It only reports the booking and charge information.<\/p>\n

Court dates may be posted through the Beltrami County District Court<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Custody updates may appear on the Beltrami County inmate locator<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Public records can change as a case moves forward. Readers should rely on official court records for updates.<\/p>\n

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