Bemidji Booking Lists DWI, Test Refusal Charges<\/h2>\n

BEMIDJI, Minn.<\/strong> (trfnews.i234.me<\/a>) \u2014 Donovan May was booked into the Beltrami County Jail on July 4, 2026.<\/p>\n

The booking record lists three charges under case number 26-010404.<\/p>\n

One count is listed as a felony chemical-test refusal charge.<\/p>\n

Two additional counts are listed as gross misdemeanors.<\/p>\n

Alcohol DWI Charge Listed<\/h2>\n

May faces one gross misdemeanor count of driving while impaired.<\/p>\n

The allegation states that May operated a motor vehicle while under the influence of alcohol.<\/p>\n

The booking information does not describe the traffic stop or alleged driving conduct.<\/p>\n

It also does not identify where the alleged incident occurred.<\/p>\n

No crash, injury, or property damage was listed in the supplied record.<\/p>\n

Chemical-Test Refusal Allegations<\/h2>\n

The felony count alleges refusal to submit to a breath chemical test.<\/p>\n

A separate gross misdemeanor count alleges refusal involving blood or urine.<\/p>\n

The second allegation concerns testing required through a search warrant.<\/p>\n

Minnesota law addresses both forms of refusal under its driving while impaired statute<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Court and Custody Information<\/h2>\n

The booking record lists District Court as the court branch.<\/p>\n

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

The listed bail or fine amount was $0.00 when the record was supplied.<\/p>\n

That figure does not explain whether other release conditions may apply.<\/p>\n

Custody status and court information can change after a first appearance.<\/p>\n

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

The county warns that online inmate information may contain errors or later changes.<\/p>\n

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

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

Public Court Records<\/h2>\n

Case updates may become available through Minnesota Court Records Online<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The state notes that online results are not official court records.<\/p>\n

Some documents may also be unavailable through the online search system.<\/p>\n

TRF News will update this report when reliable public details become available.<\/p>\n
