Bemidji: Joel Burdick Booked on Felony DWI Charge<\/h2>\n

Bemidji (trfnews.i234.me<\/a>)<\/strong> \u2014 Joel Burdick was booked into the Beltrami County Jail on September 13, 2026.<\/p>\n

The jail roster lists three charges connected to driving and Minnesota licensing laws.<\/p>\n

The most serious listed charge is first-degree driving while impaired, which is a felony.<\/p>\n

Burdick was listed on hold status with bail or fine information showing $0.00.<\/p>\n

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

The felony charge is listed under Minnesota Statute 169A.24, subdivision 1(2).<\/p>\n

The roster describes the charge as first-degree DWI involving a previous felony DWI conviction.<\/p>\n

Minnesota law classifies first-degree DWI as a felony under qualifying circumstances.<\/p>\n

A previous felony first-degree DWI conviction is one qualifying basis under the cited section.<\/p>\n

A conviction can carry up to seven years in prison.<\/p>\n

The law also allows a fine up to $14,000, or both penalties.<\/p>\n

Controlled-Substance DWI Also Listed<\/h2>\n

A second charge alleges driving while under the influence of a controlled substance.<\/p>\n

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

It cites Minnesota Statute 169A.20, subdivision 1(2).<\/p>\n

That provision prohibits driving, operating, or controlling a vehicle while under a controlled substance’s influence.<\/p>\n

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

It also does not provide details about any chemical testing.<\/p>\n

Ignition Interlock Charge<\/h2>\n

Burdick also faces a misdemeanor driver’s license restriction charge.<\/p>\n

The allegation involves operating a vehicle without a required ignition interlock device.<\/p>\n

The roster cites Minnesota Statute 171.09, subdivision 1(g).<\/p>\n

The booking record does not describe the traffic stop or alleged driving circumstances.<\/p>\n

It also does not list a court date in the information provided.<\/p>\n

The Beltrami County inmate search<\/a> provides public custody information.<\/p>\n

Charges Remain Allegations<\/h2>\n

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

The charges against Burdick remain allegations unless proven or otherwise resolved in court.<\/p>\n

Future court records may provide additional details about the case.<\/p>\n
