BEMIDJI, Minnesota<\/strong> (trfnews.i234.me<\/a>) \u2014 Claude Neadeau was booked into the Beltrami County Jail on Aug. 16, 2026.<\/p>\n

Jail information lists two gross misdemeanor DWI charges under the same case number.<\/p>\n

One charge alleges driving while under the influence of alcohol.<\/p>\n

The second alleges third-degree DWI with one aggravating factor.<\/p>\n

The listed case number is 26013180.<\/p>\n

No court date was shown in the information provided.<\/p>\n

The listed bail or fine amount was $0.00.<\/p>\n

Charges Listed In Case<\/h2>\n

The first charge cites Minnesota Statute 169A.20, subdivision 1(1)<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Minnesota law bars driving, operating, or controlling a vehicle while under alcohol’s influence.<\/p>\n

The second charge cites Minnesota Statute 169A.26, subdivision 1(a)<\/a>.<\/p>\n

That law classifies a DWI as third-degree when one aggravating factor was present.<\/p>\n

The booking information does not identify the alleged aggravating factor.<\/p>\n

It also does not describe the circumstances that led to Neadeau’s arrest.<\/p>\n

No details were provided about any alcohol test or field sobriety test.<\/p>\n

The available information also does not state where the alleged driving occurred.<\/p>\n

Custody And Court Information<\/h2>\n

Beltrami County lists its Adult Corrections Center in Bemidji.<\/p>\n

The booking information identifies District Court as the court branch for both charges.<\/p>\n

However, no court date was listed in the information provided.<\/p>\n

Future court records may include more details about the allegations and case schedule.<\/p>\n

The jail information lists Neadeau’s height as 5 feet, 11 inches.<\/p>\n

It lists his weight as 290 pounds.<\/p>\n

The record describes his hair as black and his eyes as brown.<\/p>\n

Those physical details come from the booking information provided for this report.<\/p>\n

The custody listing did not show a bond amount above zero.<\/p>\n

That does not necessarily show whether Neadeau is eligible for release.<\/p>\n

Release conditions can depend on later court decisions and other factors.<\/p>\n

Charges Remain Allegations<\/h2>\n

A jail booking is not a criminal conviction.<\/p>\n

The charges against Neadeau remain allegations unless proven in court.<\/p>\n

Neadeau is presumed innocent unless a court determines otherwise.<\/p>\n

The listed charges could also change as the case moves through court.<\/p>\n

TRF News has not added details that were missing from the booking information.<\/p>\n

Readers can review Minnesota’s DWI laws through the Minnesota Revisor of Statutes<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Beltrami County also provides an online inmate search<\/a> for public custody information.<\/p>\n

Public jail records can change after a booking is posted.<\/p>\n

Readers seeking current status should check official county and court records.<\/p>\n
