County: Keith Carmona Jailed on Assault Charge"},"content":{"rendered":"<h2>Beltrami County: Keith Carmona Jailed on Assault Charge<\/h2>\n<p><strong>BELTRAMI COUNTY, MN (<a href=\"https:\/\/trfnews.i234.me\">trfnews.i234.me<\/a>)<\/strong> \u2013 Keith Carmona was booked into the Beltrami County Jail on October 16, 2026, according to jail records.<\/p>\n<p>The booking lists allegations of second-degree assault with a dangerous weapon and third-degree riot.<\/p>\n<p>Both offenses appear under jail case number 26016845.<\/p>\n<p>The second-degree assault allegation is a felony under Minnesota law.<\/p>\n<p>The jail also labels the third-degree riot allegation as a felony, although state law classifies that offense differently.<\/p>\n<h2>Second-Degree Assault With Dangerous Weapon<\/h2>\n<p>The most serious allegation involves second-degree assault under Minnesota Statute 609.222, subdivision 1.<\/p>\n<p>This law addresses assaults involving a dangerous weapon.<\/p>\n<p>A conviction under this provision can carry up to seven years in prison.<\/p>\n<p>The statute also allows a fine of up to $14,000, or both penalties.<\/p>\n<p>However, these are maximum penalties and do not represent a sentence against Carmona.<\/p>\n<p>The available jail information does not identify the weapon allegedly involved.<\/p>\n<p>It also does not describe the reported assault or identify any alleged victim.<\/p>\n<p>No information was provided about possible injuries or the location of the incident.<\/p>\n<h2>Third-Degree Riot Allegation<\/h2>\n<p>The second allegation involves third-degree riot under Minnesota Statute 609.71, subdivision 3.<\/p>\n<p>Minnesota law addresses situations involving three or more people who disturb public peace through unlawful force, violence, or threats.<\/p>\n<p>The law can apply when those actions involve another person or property.<\/p>\n<p>The jail roster labels Carmona&#8217;s riot allegation as a felony.<\/p>\n<p>However, the Minnesota Bureau of Criminal Apprehension classifies third-degree riot as a gross misdemeanor.<\/p>\n<p>The statute allows up to 364 days in jail and a fine of up to $1,000.<\/p>\n<p>The available information does not explain the difference in classifications.<\/p>\n<p>The record also does not identify other alleged participants or establish whether any property was damaged.<\/p>\n<h2>Beltrami County Jail Booking Photo<\/h2>\n<figure id=\"attachment_58695\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-58695\" style=\"width: 207px\" class=\"wp-caption

class=\"wp-caption-text\">Keith Carmona<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h2>Custody and Bail Information<\/h2>\n<p>The jail record lists October 16, 2026, as Carmona&#8217;s custody date.<\/p>\n<p>The booking also lists a bail or fine amount of $0.00.<\/p>\n<p>That amount does not establish whether bail was denied, waived, or simply not recorded.<\/p>\n<p>The available information does not confirm Carmona&#8217;s current custody status or any release conditions.<\/p>\n<p>Both allegations are listed under District Court.<\/p>\n<p>However, no scheduled court date appears in the supplied booking record.<\/p>\n<p>The record also does not confirm whether Carmona has entered a plea.<\/p>\n<h2>Minnesota Assault and Riot Laws<\/h2>\n<p>Readers can review the assault provision through <a href=\"https:\/\/www.revisor.mn.gov\/statutes\/cite\/609.222\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Minnesota Statute 609.222<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>The riot allegation is covered by <a href=\"https:\/\/www.revisor.mn.gov\/statutes\/cite\/609.71\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Minnesota Statute 609.71<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Both statutes describe the legal requirements and possible penalties for their respective offenses.<\/p>\n<h2>Court Records and Case Updates<\/h2>\n<p>Additional information may become available through <a href=\"https:\/\/publicaccess.courts.state.mn.us\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Minnesota Court Records Online<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>The system provides access to available criminal case information, hearing schedules, and certain court documents.<\/p>\n<p>Readers can also visit the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mncourts.gov\/Access-Case-Records.aspx\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Minnesota Judicial Branch<\/a> for public records guidance.<\/p>\n<p>The jail listing alone does not establish whether prosecutors have filed a formal criminal complaint.<\/p>\n<p>It also does not establish whether Carmona&#8217;s allegations involve other people listed under the same jail case number.<\/p>\n<p>Carmona 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
