County: Quentin Nelson Jailed on DWI Charges"},"content":{"rendered":"<h2>Beltrami County: Quentin Nelson Jailed on DWI Charges<\/h2>\n<p><strong>BELTRAMI COUNTY, MN (<a href=\"https:\/\/trfnews.i234.me\">trfnews.i234.me<\/a>)<\/strong> \u2013 Quentin Nelson was booked into the Beltrami County Jail on October 16, 2026, according to jail records.<\/p>\n<p>The booking lists two allegations involving second-degree driving while impaired and driving after license revocation.<\/p>\n<p>The second-degree DWI allegation is classified as a gross misdemeanor.<\/p>\n<p>The driving after revocation allegation is listed as a misdemeanor.<\/p>\n<p>Both entries appear under jail case number 26016844.<\/p>\n<h2>Second-Degree DWI Allegation<\/h2>\n<p>The most serious listed allegation involves second-degree driving while impaired under Minnesota Statute 169A.25, subdivision 1(a).<\/p>\n<p>The jail roster describes the offense as DWI involving two or more aggravating factors.<\/p>\n<p>Under Minnesota law, certain circumstances can increase the seriousness of an impaired driving offense.<\/p>\n<p>These may include qualifying prior impaired driving incidents and other factors defined by law.<\/p>\n<p>However, the supplied booking record does not identify which aggravating factors allegedly apply to Nelson.<\/p>\n<p>The available information also does not provide alcohol test results or describe Nelson&#8217;s reported driving behavior.<\/p>\n<p>No details were included about a traffic stop, possible crash, or injuries.<\/p>\n<p>The location of the alleged driving incident was not identified in the supplied record.<\/p>\n<h2>Driving After Revocation Allegation<\/h2>\n<p>Nelson also faces a listed misdemeanor allegation of driving after revocation.<\/p>\n<p>The charge falls under Minnesota Statute 171.24, subdivision 2(a).<\/p>\n<p>This law addresses operating a motor vehicle after a driver&#8217;s license or driving privilege has been revoked.<\/p>\n<p>The law also requires that the driver knew or reasonably should have known about the revocation.<\/p>\n<p>The booking information does not explain when or why Nelson&#8217;s driving privileges were revoked.<\/p>\n<p>It also does not identify the circumstances surrounding the alleged license violation.<\/p>\n<h2>Beltrami County Jail Booking Photo<\/h2>\n<figure

Information<\/h2>\n<p>The jail record identifies October 16, 2026, as Nelson&#8217;s custody date.<\/p>\n<p>The booking information lists a bail or fine amount of $0.00.<\/p>\n<p>That amount does not confirm whether bail was denied, waived, or had not yet been entered.<\/p>\n<p>The record identifies District Court as the court branch associated with both allegations.<\/p>\n<p>However, the supplied booking information does not list a scheduled court appearance.<\/p>\n<p>It also does not establish whether Nelson has entered a plea or received release conditions.<\/p>\n<h2>Minnesota DWI Laws and Court Records<\/h2>\n<p>Second-degree DWI is a gross misdemeanor under <a href=\"https:\/\/www.revisor.mn.gov\/statutes\/cite\/169A.25\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Minnesota Statute 169A.25<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>A conviction can carry up to 364 days in jail and a $3,000 fine.<\/p>\n<p>Additional mandatory penalties may apply depending on the facts established in court.<\/p>\n<p>The separate license allegation is addressed under <a href=\"https:\/\/www.revisor.mn.gov\/statutes\/cite\/171.24\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Minnesota Statute 171.24<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>These possible penalties are not sentences imposed against Nelson.<\/p>\n<p>Readers can search for available filings through <a

href=\"https:\/\/www.mncourts.gov\/Access-Case-Records.aspx\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Minnesota Judicial Branch<\/a> also provides information about accessing public case records.<\/p>\n<p>The booking record alone does not confirm whether prosecutors have filed a formal criminal complaint.<\/p>\n<p>Nelson is presumed innocent unless proven guilty in a court of law.<\/p>\n<p>Further updates will depend on verified court filings and official records.<\/p>\n<p><strong>I&#8217;m Adrian Cole reporting for <a href=\"https:\/\/trfnews.i234.me\">TRF
