Bemidji Man Faces Two Domestic Abuse Charges<\/h2>\n

BEMIDJI<\/strong> (trfnews.i234.me<\/a>) \u2014 Silas Botello was booked into the Beltrami County Jail on Thursday, July 30, 2026.<\/p>\n

The jail record lists two alleged domestic abuse-related offenses under one case number. The case number is 2026014072.<\/p>\n

Booking information lists a bail or fine amount of $0.00. No court date appeared in the information provided.<\/p>\n

Booking Details<\/h2>\n

The record identifies Botello as 5 feet, 10 inches tall and weighing 150 pounds. It lists black hair and brown eyes.<\/p>\n

Those details come from the jail booking entry. They do not describe the evidence in the pending case.<\/p>\n

Charges Listed<\/h2>\n

One count alleges a violation of an order for protection. The charge is listed under Minnesota Statute 518B.01, subdivision 14(a).<\/p>\n

That section covers alleged violations of court-issued protection orders. Readers can review the full Minnesota order-for-protection law<\/a>.<\/p>\n

A second count alleges misdemeanor domestic assault. That charge is listed under Minnesota Statute 609.2242, subdivision 1(2).<\/p>\n

The statute covers intentionally causing, or trying to cause, bodily harm. It applies when the alleged victim is a family or household member.<\/p>\n

The complete law is available through the Minnesota Revisor of Statutes<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The booking record does not provide a detailed account of the alleged incident. It also does not identify an alleged victim.<\/p>\n

Court Information<\/h2>\n

The booking entry lists District Court as the court branch. No hearing date was shown.<\/p>\n

Court dates may be added after prosecutors file documents. Judges may also set release terms during later proceedings.<\/p>\n

Public case information may become available through Minnesota Court Records Online<\/a>.<\/p>\n

That service provides access to many public district court records.<\/p>\n

Presumption of Innocence<\/h2>\n

The Beltrami County inmate locator<\/a> states that a booking does not establish guilt.<\/p>\n

The county also warns that online information may change or contain errors.<\/p>\n

A criminal charge is only an accusation. Botello is presumed innocent unless proven guilty in court.<\/p>\n

The case remains pending based on the booking information provided. Additional details may be released through court filings.<\/p>\n
