Bemidji: Cooper Faces Felony First-Degree DWI<\/h2>\n

Bemidji (trfnews.i234.me<\/a>)<\/strong> \u2014 Shauna Cooper was taken into custody at the Beltrami County Jail on October 4, 2026.<\/p>\n

The jail roster lists two driving while impaired charges against Cooper.<\/p>\n

One is a gross misdemeanor controlled-substance DWI charge.<\/p>\n

The second is a felony first-degree DWI charge.<\/p>\n

Both charges are listed under case number 26018821.<\/p>\n

Controlled-Substance DWI Charge<\/h2>\n

Cooper faces a charge under Minnesota Statute 169A.20.1(2).<\/p>\n

The count alleges she operated a motor vehicle while under the influence of a controlled substance.<\/p>\n

The Beltrami County roster lists that charge as a gross misdemeanor.<\/p>\n

The available information does not identify the alleged controlled substance.<\/p>\n

More information is available through the Minnesota Revisor of Statutes<\/a>.<\/p>\n

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

Cooper also faces a felony first-degree DWI charge under Minnesota Statute 169A.24.1(3)(ii).<\/p>\n

The jail roster says the felony count involves a previous qualifying felony conviction.<\/p>\n

The listed enhancement references Minnesota Statutes 2006, section 609.21.<\/p>\n

That former statute covered certain criminal vehicular homicide and injury offenses.<\/p>\n

Current Minnesota law recognizes specified convictions under that statute for first-degree DWI purposes.<\/p>\n

The jail information does not provide details about Cooper’s alleged prior conviction.<\/p>\n

More information about first-degree DWI is available from the Minnesota Revisor of Statutes<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Beltrami County Jail Booking<\/h2>\n

The roster lists Cooper’s custody date as October 4.<\/p>\n

The listed bail or fine amount is $0.00.<\/p>\n

No future court date appears in the information provided.<\/p>\n

The case is listed with District Court.<\/p>\n

The roster lists Cooper at five feet, five inches tall and 145 pounds.<\/p>\n

The available jail entry does not provide a detailed criminal complaint.<\/p>\n

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

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