Bemidji: Deanna White Held on Second-Degree DWI<\/h2>\n

Bemidji (trfnews.i234.me<\/a>)<\/strong> \u2014 Deanna White was booked into the Beltrami County Jail on August 28, 2026.<\/p>\n

Jail records list two gross misdemeanor DWI charges against White.<\/p>\n

One charge involves second-degree DWI and an alleged refusal to submit to chemical testing.<\/p>\n

The second charge alleges operating a motor vehicle while under the influence of alcohol.<\/p>\n

Both charges appear under case number 26016188.<\/p>\n

Second-Degree DWI Charge Listed<\/h2>\n

The first charge cites Minnesota Statute 169A.25, subdivision 1(b).<\/p>\n

That law applies to chemical test refusal cases involving one aggravating factor.<\/p>\n

Minnesota law classifies second-degree DWI as a gross misdemeanor.<\/p>\n

The booking record does not identify the alleged aggravating factor in White’s case.<\/p>\n

It also does not describe the circumstances surrounding the alleged chemical test refusal.<\/p>\n

Readers can review Minnesota Statute 169A.25<\/a> through the Minnesota Revisor of Statutes.<\/p>\n

Minnesota law separately makes certain refusals to submit to chemical testing a criminal offense.<\/p>\n

The requirements depend on the type of test and circumstances involved.<\/p>\n

Alcohol-Impaired Driving Charge<\/h2>\n

White also faces a DWI charge under Minnesota Statute 169A.20, subdivision 1(1).<\/p>\n

That section prohibits operating or controlling a motor vehicle while under the influence of alcohol.<\/p>\n

The jail roster classifies this listed charge as a gross misdemeanor.<\/p>\n

The booking information does not provide White’s alleged alcohol concentration.<\/p>\n

It also does not describe the traffic stop or identify where the alleged driving occurred.<\/p>\n

The full DWI law is available under Minnesota Statute 169A.20<\/a>.<\/p>\n

White Held at Beltrami County Jail<\/h2>\n

The jail record lists White’s bail or fine amount as $0.00.<\/p>\n

That entry does not necessarily mean release is available without conditions.<\/p>\n

District Court is listed as the court branch handling the case.<\/p>\n

No court date appears in the information provided for this report.<\/p>\n

Readers can check the Beltrami County Inmate Search<\/a> for updated custody information.<\/p>\n

Public court records may also appear through Minnesota Court Records Online<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Jail status and court information can change as the case moves forward.<\/p>\n

A booking and criminal charges do not establish guilt.<\/p>\n

White is presumed innocent unless proven guilty through the court process.<\/p>\n
