BELTRAMI COUNTY, Minn.<\/strong> (trfnews.i234.me<\/a>) \u2013 A Blackduck woman faces multiple criminal charges following a high-speed police pursuit in Beltrami County.<\/p>\n

According to court documents, the pursuit reportedly reached 110 mph before deputies arrested the suspect.<\/p>\n

Jocelyn Irene Dow, 41, of Blackduck, faces two felony charges and one gross misdemeanor charge.<\/p>\n

A breath test later showed an alcohol concentration of 0.17, according to the criminal complaint.<\/p>\n

Police Chase Reportedly Reaches 110 MPH<\/h2>\n

The incident began around 3:39 p.m. on October 17, 2026.<\/p>\n

Beltrami County Dispatch received information about a suspected impaired driver fleeing Red Lake Police.<\/p>\n

Authorities identified the vehicle as a beige Chevrolet Traverse with Red Lake tribal license plates.<\/p>\n

According to the complaint, police received reports that the driver was operating recklessly and had entered ditches several times.<\/p>\n

When an officer approached the vehicle, Dow allegedly fled and nearly struck the officer.<\/p>\n

Police reported that the vehicle reached speeds of approximately 110 mph during the pursuit.<\/p>\n

The initial chase reportedly continued for 20 to 25 miles with emergency lights and sirens activated.<\/p>\n

Deputies Join Pursuit on Highway 71<\/h2>\n

Beltrami County deputies intercepted the pursuit near Highway 71 and Scenic Highway.<\/p>\n

According to court documents, Dow continued driving at approximately 75 mph and refused to stop.<\/p>\n

Another deputy prepared spike strips near Highway 71 NE and Popplewood Road NE.<\/p>\n

Before reaching that location, the vehicle slowed and pulled off the roadway.<\/p>\n

The complaint states that Dow initially refused officers’ commands to exit the vehicle.<\/p>\n

After several minutes, she reportedly opened the driver’s door and stepped outside.<\/p>\n

Deputies then arrested Dow without a further vehicle pursuit.<\/p>\n

Authorities reported smelling a strong odor of alcohol coming from Dow following her arrest.<\/p>\n

During transportation to the Beltrami County Jail, a deputy also reported that her speech was slurred.<\/p>\n

Investigators decided to conduct breath testing at the jail instead of roadside sobriety testing.<\/p>\n

According to the complaint, Dow agreed to provide a breath sample.<\/p>\n

The test registered an alcohol concentration of 0.17, more than twice Minnesota’s standard legal limit of 0.08.<\/p>\n

Previous DWI History Cited<\/h2>\n

Court records cited in the complaint identify previous DWI convictions from May 10, 2017, and February 12, 2019.<\/p>\n

The complaint also identifies a DWI-related license revocation in 2024.<\/p>\n

Prosecutors allege Dow had three qualifying prior impaired-driving incidents within ten years.<\/p>\n

Authorities also reported that Dow’s driving privileges had been canceled as inimical to public safety.<\/p>\n

The complaint states that she had an outstanding arrest warrant in a separate Beltrami County case.<\/p>\n
