Bemidji Jail Books Justin Knapp on Drug Charge<\/h2>\n

BEMIDJI<\/strong> (trfnews.i234.me<\/a>) \u2014 Justin Knapp was booked into the Beltrami County Jail on July 28, 2026.<\/p>\n

The jail record lists two controlled substance entries under separate case numbers. Both entries cite the same Minnesota law and charge description.<\/p>\n

The listed case numbers are 2026013919 and 26-010393. The supplied record does not explain whether they represent separate cases.<\/p>\n

Fifth-Degree Drug Allegations<\/h2>\n

The jail identifies both allegations as fifth-degree controlled substance possession. Each entry cites Minnesota Statute 152.025, subdivision 2(a)(1).<\/p>\n

The law covers possession of certain Schedule I, II, III, or IV controlled substances. It can also cover drug residue inside paraphernalia.<\/p>\n

Cannabis flower, cannabis products, and certain hemp products are excluded from this part of the law.<\/p>\n

The jail record classifies both entries as felony-level allegations. However, the final level can depend on the amount and prior convictions.<\/p>\n

The booking information does not identify the alleged substance. It also does not list an amount or describe any paraphernalia.<\/p>\n

Readers can review Minnesota Statute 152.025<\/a> through the Office of the Revisor of Statutes.<\/p>\n

Custody and Court Status<\/h2>\n

Knapp entered custody on July 28. The record showed $0.00 in the bail or fine field.<\/p>\n

That figure does not always mean release without conditions. The available record did not explain Knapp\u2019s release or hold status.<\/p>\n

No court date was listed in the information provided. Both entries were assigned to District Court.<\/p>\n

Readers can search Minnesota Court Records Online<\/a> for public case information.<\/p>\n

The Beltrami County inmate locator<\/a> may also provide updated custody details. Records can change after court hearings.<\/p>\n

Charges Remain Allegations<\/h2>\n

A jail booking does not prove that a person committed a crime. Criminal charges remain allegations until resolved in court.<\/p>\n

Knapp is presumed innocent unless proven guilty beyond a reasonable doubt.<\/p>\n

The jail warns that online records may contain errors. Readers should not rely on booking information for legal action.<\/p>\n

This report is based only on the available booking record. It does not include a police report or criminal complaint.<\/p>\n
