Bemidji: Oginii Joseph Booked on DWI, Underage Charge<\/h2>\n

Bemidji (trfnews.i234.me<\/a>)<\/strong> \u2014 Oginii Joseph was booked into the Beltrami County Jail on August 29, 2026.<\/p>\n

Jail records list two alcohol-related driving charges against Joseph in separate court cases.<\/p>\n

One charge involves allegedly operating a motor vehicle while under the influence of alcohol.<\/p>\n

The second charge involves Minnesota’s underage drinking-and-driving law.<\/p>\n

The jail record shows a bail or fine amount of $0.00.<\/p>\n

DWI Charge Listed as Gross Misdemeanor<\/h2>\n

The DWI charge appears under case number 24020995.<\/p>\n

It cites Minnesota Statute 169A.20, subdivision 1(1).<\/p>\n

The provision prohibits driving, operating, or controlling a motor vehicle while under the influence of alcohol.<\/p>\n

The Beltrami County roster classifies Joseph’s listed DWI charge as a gross misdemeanor.<\/p>\n

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

It also does not describe the traffic stop or events leading to Joseph’s custody.<\/p>\n

Readers can review Minnesota Statute 169A.20<\/a> for the state’s DWI law.<\/p>\n

Separate Underage Driving Case<\/h2>\n

Joseph also has a listed charge under case number 25012069.<\/p>\n

That charge cites Minnesota Statute 169A.33, subdivision 2.<\/p>\n

The law applies to people under 21 at the time of the alleged offense.<\/p>\n

It prohibits driving after consuming alcohol while physical evidence of that consumption remains in the body.<\/p>\n

Minnesota law classifies a violation of that provision as a misdemeanor.<\/p>\n

The jail entry does not state when the alleged underage driving offense occurred.<\/p>\n

It also does not explain how the separate case relates to Joseph’s current custody.<\/p>\n

Readers can review Minnesota Statute 169A.33<\/a> for more information.<\/p>\n

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

Both listed cases are assigned to District Court.<\/p>\n

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

The $0.00 bail field does not necessarily mean release is available without conditions.<\/p>\n

Court orders or other legal requirements may affect a person’s release status.<\/p>\n

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

Public case information may also be available through Minnesota Court Records Online<\/a>.<\/p>\n

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

Joseph is presumed innocent on unresolved charges unless proven guilty in court.<\/p>\n
