Bemidji Man Booked in Strangulation Case<\/h2>\n

Bemidji (trfnews.i234.me<\/a>)<\/strong> \u2014 Michael John Beaulieu Jr., 23, was booked into the Cass County Jail on August 3, 2026.<\/p>\n

Booking Information<\/h2>\n

The jail entry lists his booking time as 3:27 p.m. Beaulieu is listed as a Bemidji resident.<\/p>\n

The reported charge is domestic assault by strangulation. The charge is listed under Minnesota Statute 609.2247, subdivision 2.<\/p>\n

The booking record identifies the matter as an adult arrest. No further incident details were included in the provided information.<\/p>\n

The entry does not explain where the alleged incident happened. It does not name another person or describe reported injuries.<\/p>\n

Those facts should not be assumed without court documents. The record also does not list a court file number.<\/p>\n

It does not show bail terms or a scheduled hearing. Public jail data may change as the case moves forward.<\/p>\n

What Minnesota Law Says<\/h2>\n

Under Minnesota law, domestic assault by strangulation is a felony offense. The law concerns a family or household member.<\/p>\n

State law defines strangulation as intentionally blocking normal breathing or blood flow. This may involve pressure to the neck or throat.<\/p>\n

It may also involve blocking another person\u2019s nose or mouth. Readers can review the Minnesota statute<\/a> online.<\/p>\n

Case Status<\/h2>\n

The Cass County Detention Center<\/a> provides jail information and public in-custody reports.<\/p>\n

A jail booking records an arrest and detention. It does not establish that a person committed the alleged offense.<\/p>\n

Prosecutors and courts determine the next steps using available records and evidence. Court records may later provide more details.<\/p>\n

A booking date is not a conviction date. A court must decide whether evidence proves the charge beyond a reasonable doubt.<\/p>\n

Beaulieu is presumed innocent unless proven guilty in court. The case may change as courts release new information.<\/p>\n

TRF News will continue reviewing public records for updates. Those updates may include charging documents, hearings, or court rulings.<\/p>\n
