Bemidji: Rickay Budreau Faces DWI Charges<\/h2>\n

Beltrami County<\/strong> (trfnews.i234.me<\/a>) \u2014 Rickay Budreau was booked into the Beltrami County Jail on Tuesday, July 21, 2026.<\/p>\n

Jail records list three pending charges in Minnesota District Court.<\/p>\n

The most serious count is a felony driving while impaired charge.<\/p>\n

The charge alleges operation of a vehicle with a Schedule I or II drug present.<\/p>\n

The listed statute excludes cannabis and hemp from that charge.<\/p>\n

Three Charges Listed<\/h2>\n

Budreau also faces a gross misdemeanor charge involving a false name.<\/p>\n

The allegation states that another person\u2019s name was given to a peace officer.<\/p>\n

A third gross misdemeanor charge involves driving after license cancellation.<\/p>\n

The record describes the cancellation as inimical to public safety.<\/p>\n

That term is used when officials believe a driver may present a public safety risk.<\/p>\n
