Bemidji: Carla Martin Booked on Drug Charge<\/h2>\n

Bemidji (trfnews.i234.me<\/a>)<\/strong> \u2014 Carla Martin was booked into the Beltrami County Jail on August 31, 2026.<\/p>\n

Jail records list a fifth-degree controlled substance possession charge.<\/p>\n

The booking record classifies the listed offense as a felony.<\/p>\n

The charge is listed under Minnesota Statute 152.025, subdivision 2(a)(1).<\/p>\n

The jail record lists case number 26014146.<\/p>\n

Drug Possession Charge Listed<\/h2>\n

Minnesota law covers fifth-degree controlled substance crimes under Section 152.025.<\/p>\n

The cited provision covers possession of certain Schedule I, II, III, or IV controlled substances.<\/p>\n

The provision does not include cannabis flower and several legal cannabis or hemp products.<\/p>\n

It can also cover residual controlled substances found in drug paraphernalia.<\/p>\n

The booking record does not identify the substance allegedly involved.<\/p>\n

It also does not list the alleged amount.<\/p>\n

No information was provided about where the alleged possession occurred.<\/p>\n

The jail record does not describe the circumstances leading to Martin’s booking.<\/p>\n

Readers can review Minnesota Statute 152.025<\/a> through the Minnesota Revisor of Statutes.<\/p>\n

Penalty Can Depend on Case Details<\/h2>\n

The jail entry classifies Martin’s listed offense as a felony.<\/p>\n

However, Minnesota law provides a gross-misdemeanor penalty in certain limited cases.<\/p>\n

That provision can apply to small amounts when specific conditions are met.<\/p>\n

Prior controlled substance convictions can also affect how the law applies.<\/p>\n

The booking information does not provide enough details to determine whether that exception applies.<\/p>\n

The court record will determine the final charge level and case outcome.<\/p>\n

Booked in Bemidji<\/h2>\n

The Beltrami County Adult Detention Facility is located in Bemidji.<\/p>\n

Martin’s custody date is listed as August 31.<\/p>\n

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

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

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

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

Charge Remains an Allegation<\/h2>\n

A jail booking does not establish guilt.<\/p>\n

The charge against Martin remains an allegation unless proven or admitted in court.<\/p>\n

Future filings may identify the substance and alleged amount involved.<\/p>\n

They may also provide hearing dates and updated release conditions.<\/p>\n

Charges can be amended, dismissed, or resolved during court proceedings.<\/p>\n

Martin is presumed innocent unless proven guilty in court.<\/p>\n
