Keith Howard Booked in Bemidji on Felony Charge<\/h2>\n

Bemidji<\/strong> (trfnews.i234.me<\/a>) \u2014 Keith Howard was booked into the Beltrami County Jail on August 1, 2026.<\/p>\n

The jail record lists one felony domestic assault charge. The case is assigned to District Court.<\/p>\n

The allegation appears under case number 2026012285. No court date appeared in the provided booking information.<\/p>\n

The listed bail or fine amount was $0.00. That entry does not confirm whether Howard remained in custody.<\/p>\n

It also does not explain whether a court later ordered release conditions.<\/p>\n

Felony Domestic Assault Charge<\/h2>\n

The booking record cites Minnesota Statute 609.2242, subdivision 4. That section covers felony-level domestic assault allegations.<\/p>\n

The felony section generally involves two or more prior qualified domestic violence offenses within ten years.<\/p>\n

The booking information does not list any prior cases. It also does not describe the current alleged incident.<\/p>\n

Under Minnesota law, a conviction may carry up to five years in prison.<\/p>\n

The law also allows a fine of up to $10,000. Those are maximum penalties under the statute.<\/p>\n

Those penalties do not show what may happen in Howard\u2019s case. Sentencing depends on the facts and court proceedings.<\/p>\n

Readers can review the official Minnesota domestic assault statute<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Booking Information<\/h2>\n

The jail record lists Howard at 6 feet tall. His listed weight is 135 pounds.<\/p>\n

The record lists black hair and brown eyes. These details appear as identifying booking information.<\/p>\n

Howard entered custody on August 1. No scheduled hearing appeared in the supplied record.<\/p>\n

Readers can check the Beltrami County inmate search<\/a> for custody updates.<\/p>\n

Online jail records can change as cases move forward. They should not replace official court documents.<\/p>\n

Court Records and Case Status<\/h2>\n

Minnesota Court Records Online<\/a> provides access to many public District Court records.<\/p>\n

Future filings may show hearing dates, release terms, pleas, or changes to the charge.<\/p>\n

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

Howard is presumed innocent unless proven guilty in court. The charge may be amended, dismissed, or otherwise resolved.<\/p>\n

Official court records provide the most current information about the case.<\/p>\n
