Bemidji Man Charged After .31 DWI Arrest<\/h2>\n

Beltrami County<\/strong> (trfnews.i234.me<\/a>) \u2014 A Bemidji man is facing a gross misdemeanor DWI charge after authorities say he was found in a vehicle stuck in a ditch.<\/p>\n

Anthony Gregory Hall, 51, of Bemidji, is charged in Beltrami County District Court with operating a motor vehicle with an alcohol concentration of .08 or higher within two hours of driving.<\/p>\n

The charge stems from an incident reported on June 27, 2026, in Bemidji. Court documents state the incident happened near the Best Western Hotel on Paul Bunyan Drive NW.<\/p>\n

Vehicle Found In Ditch<\/h2>\n

According to the criminal complaint, authorities responded around 1:31 a.m. after receiving a report of a vehicle in a ditch.<\/p>\n

Officials said they found a red 2010 Toyota pickup truck stuck off the roadway. Hall was reportedly sitting in the driver\u2019s seat.<\/p>\n

The complaint states Hall showed signs of possible impairment. Those signs included bloodshot eyes, watery eyes, and slurred speech.<\/p>\n

Hall allegedly told authorities he had consumed one bottle of beer. He also reportedly admitted he drove the truck into the ditch.<\/p>\n

The complaint states the truck was not running when officials arrived. However, the keys were still in the ignition.<\/p>\n

Breath Test Shows High Alcohol Level<\/h2>\n

According to court records, Hall was asked to complete field sobriety tests. The complaint states he was unable to successfully complete them.<\/p>\n

Officials also attempted to have Hall provide a preliminary breath sample. Court documents state he did not complete that test.<\/p>\n

Hall was later taken to the Beltrami County Jail. Officials read him the Minnesota breath test advisory.<\/p>\n

The complaint states Hall initially refused a breath test. After the advisory was read again, he agreed to provide a sample.<\/p>\n

The test reportedly showed an alcohol concentration of .31. The legal driving limit in Minnesota is .08.<\/p>\n

The complaint lists a second-degree DWI case from 2019 and a third-degree DWI case from 2017.<\/p>\n

The current charge is a gross misdemeanor. If convicted, the charge may carry up to 364 days in jail and a fine of up to $3,000.<\/p>\n

All charges are allegations. Hall is presumed innocent unless proven guilty in court.<\/p>\n
