THIEF RIVER FALLS, Minn.<\/strong> (trfnews.i234.me<\/a>) \u2014 Jocelyn Irene Dow, 41, appears in a Pennington County Jail booking entry listing four alleged offenses.<\/p>\n

The charges include driving while impaired, felony fleeing in a motor vehicle, and driving after license cancellation.<\/p>\n

The entry identifies Dow’s inmate type as “BELTR,” indicating a Beltrami County connection.<\/p>\n

Beltrami County Police Pursuit Reported<\/h2>\n

A separate Beltrami County criminal complaint describes a vehicle pursuit on October 17, 2026.<\/p>\n

According to MN CRIME’s report<\/a>, police pursued Dow after receiving reports of dangerous driving.<\/p>\n

The complaint alleges that the vehicle traveled at speeds reaching 110 mph. It also alleges that the vehicle nearly struck an officer.<\/p>\n

The pursuit reportedly continued for approximately 20 to 25 miles, crossing from the Red Lake Reservation into Beltrami County.<\/p>\n

Authorities eventually stopped the vehicle. Dow was arrested following the pursuit, according to the complaint summary.<\/p>\n

The report states that a breath test registered an alcohol concentration of 0.17. That is more than twice Minnesota’s standard 0.08 legal limit.<\/p>\n

Four Charges Listed in Jail Entry<\/h2>\n

The supplied Pennington County booking information lists four alleged offenses under Minnesota law.<\/p>\n

Driving While Impaired:<\/strong> Under Minnesota Statute 169A.20<\/a>, Dow is listed with an alcohol-related DWI offense.<\/p>\n

The entry classifies this offense as a gross misdemeanor.<\/p>\n

Felony Fleeing:<\/strong> Under Minnesota Statute 609.487<\/a>, Dow is accused of fleeing a peace officer using a motor vehicle.<\/p>\n

This offense is classified as a felony and carries a possible prison sentence if convicted.<\/p>\n

Driving After Cancellation:<\/strong> Under Minnesota Statute 171.24<\/a>, Dow is accused of driving after her license was canceled for public safety reasons.<\/p>\n

That offense is listed as a gross misdemeanor.<\/p>\n

Second-Degree DWI:<\/strong> The entry also lists Minnesota Statute 169A.25<\/a>, involving two or more aggravating factors.<\/p>\n

Second-degree DWI is classified as a gross misdemeanor under Minnesota law.<\/p>\n

Court Filing Lists First-Degree DWI<\/h2>\n

A separate Beltrami County court filing dated October 19 lists three criminal charges against Dow.<\/p>\n

Those charges include first-degree DWI, felony fleeing, and driving after license cancellation.<\/p>\n

The first-degree DWI allegation differs from the second-degree DWI entry in the supplied jail information.<\/p>\n

The reason for that difference has not been confirmed. The formal court filing should be used to verify the charges being prosecuted.<\/p>\n

Jail Booking and Court Updates<\/h2>\n

The supplied booking information does not include a bond amount, booking date, or scheduled court hearing.<\/p>\n

Readers can check the Pennington County Sheriff’s Office inmate search<\/a> for custody information.<\/p>\n

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

The charges are allegations. Dow is presumed innocent unless proven guilty in court.<\/p>\n
