Beltrami County: Keith Howard Held on 2 Felonies<\/h2>\n

BELTRAMI COUNTY, Minn.<\/strong> (trfnews.i234.me)<\/a> \u2014 Keith Howard was booked into the Beltrami County Jail on October 6, 2026.<\/p>\n

The jail roster lists two felony charges under the same District Court case.<\/p>\n

One charge alleges domestic assault by strangulation.<\/p>\n

The second alleges a felony violation of an order for protection.<\/p>\n

The booking record lists bail or fine information at $0.00.<\/p>\n

Felony Strangulation Charge Listed<\/h2>\n

Howard faces a felony charge under Minnesota Statute 609.2247, subdivision 2.<\/p>\n

The jail roster describes the offense as domestic assault by strangulation.<\/p>\n

The provided booking information does not describe the alleged incident.<\/p>\n

It also does not identify the alleged victim or report whether injuries occurred.<\/p>\n

No probable cause statement was included with the jail information provided.<\/p>\n

Readers can review Minnesota Statute 609.2247<\/a> through the Minnesota Revisor of Statutes.<\/p>\n

Protection Order Violation Also Alleged<\/h2>\n

The second felony count involves an alleged violation of an order for protection.<\/p>\n

The roster cites Minnesota Statute 518B.01, subdivision 14(d)(1).<\/p>\n

The charge description references two or more qualifying prior offenses within the previous 10 years.<\/p>\n

The booking record does not identify those prior cases.<\/p>\n

It also does not explain how Howard allegedly violated the current protection order.<\/p>\n

An order for protection can restrict contact with a protected person under Minnesota law.<\/p>\n

More serious penalties may apply when qualifying prior convictions are present.<\/p>\n

Readers can review Minnesota Statute 518B.01<\/a> for the state’s order for protection provisions.<\/p>\n

District Court Case Pending<\/h2>\n

Both charges are listed under Beltrami County case number 2026016266.<\/p>\n

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

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

The $0.00 bail or fine listing does not by itself explain Howard’s release eligibility.<\/p>\n

Jail roster information can change as courts set conditions or cases move forward.<\/p>\n

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

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

Howard is presumed innocent unless proven guilty through the court process.<\/p>\n

Charges may also be amended, dismissed, or otherwise changed as the case proceeds.<\/p>\n
