The available jail record does not describe the alleged incident.<\/p>\n

It does not identify another person involved in the case.<\/p>\n

No police officer names are included in this report.<\/p>\n

Gross Misdemeanor Case<\/h2>\n

The Beltrami County record classifies the charge as a gross misdemeanor.<\/p>\n

Minnesota law allows up to 364 days in jail for many gross misdemeanor convictions.<\/p>\n

It also allows a fine of up to $3,000 when no different punishment applies.<\/p>\n

Those amounts are maximum penalties and do not represent a sentence against Whitefeather.<\/p>\n

Any penalty would require a conviction through the court process.<\/p>\n

The booking record lists District Court as the court branch.<\/p>\n

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

Beltrami County Jail Booking<\/h2>\n

The record lists Whitefeather’s custody date as Sept. 3.<\/p>\n

It lists his height as five feet, eight inches.<\/p>\n

His listed weight is 135 pounds.<\/p>\n

The record lists black hair and brown eyes.<\/p>\n

The bail or fine field shows $0.00.<\/p>\n

That figure alone does not explain any release conditions or other holds.<\/p>\n

Charge Remains an Allegation<\/h2>\n

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

The charge against Whitefeather remains an allegation unless proven through the court process.<\/p>\n

The jail record does not show a final judgment in the case.<\/p>\n

Additional court documents may provide more details about the allegation.<\/p>\n
