Bemidji: Brian Platt Faces Felony DWI Charge<\/h2>\n

Bemidji<\/strong> (trfnews.i234.me<\/a>) \u2014 Brian Platt was booked into the Beltrami County Jail on August 5, 2026.<\/p>\n

The public booking record lists a felony first-degree driving while impaired charge. The record identifies case number 2026012548.<\/p>\n

Felony DWI Charge Listed<\/h2>\n

The charge cites Minnesota Statute 169A.24, subdivision 1(1). The booking description links the charge to alleged prior impaired-driving incidents.<\/p>\n

It states that three or more qualified incidents occurred within the previous ten years. The record does not list those incidents.<\/p>\n

It also provides no dates, case numbers, or outcomes for earlier matters. Those details may appear in court filings.<\/p>\n

The booking record classifies the first-degree DWI charge as a felony.<\/p>\n

Custody and Court Information<\/h2>\n

The roster lists Platt\u2019s custody date as August 5. It also shows a hold notation.<\/p>\n

The supplied record does not explain the hold. It does not identify another agency or release condition.<\/p>\n

The listed bail or fine amount is $0.00. No court date appeared in the booking information.<\/p>\n

The matter was assigned to district court. The Beltrami County District Court<\/a> is in Bemidji.<\/p>\n

Readers can visit the court website for calendars and public contact information. Court dates and custody details can change.<\/p>\n

The Beltrami County inmate locator<\/a> may provide updated jail information.<\/p>\n

The county cautions that online booking information may contain errors. It should not replace official court records.<\/p>\n

Few Details Released<\/h2>\n

The booking entry does not describe the alleged driving incident. It gives no location, test result, vehicle, or stop details.<\/p>\n

The record also does not identify injuries or property damage. No police officers are named in this report.<\/p>\n

A booking record does not prove guilt. Criminal charges are allegations that must be tested in court.<\/p>\n

Platt is presumed innocent unless proven guilty beyond a reasonable doubt. Future court filings may provide more information.<\/p>\n
