Dozens Booked in Otter Tail County Jail March 3 on Serious Charges

Dozens of people were booked into the Otter Tail County Jail, the county custody roster snapshot timestamped March 3, 2026 (03:00) shows, including Benjamin Alexander, 22, listed under 609.19.1(1) Murder - 2nd Degree and related felony assault counts. The roster contains multiple felony-level drug-sale statutes and violent-offense entries alongside traffic and domestic-assault cases, reflecting a wide range of charges in custody at the Fergus Falls facility.

The Sheriffs’ online custody list carries an explicit update schedule and legal disclaimer: “This list is updated every two hours.” The roster page also states, “Inmate information available through this website is public data and provided in accordance with Minnesota Statutes 13.82, 13.85 and 641.05,” and cautions that the sheriff’s office “cannot represent that the information is current, accurate or complete.” County administrative contact details printed on the roster include the Otter Tail County address, 500 W Fir Ave, Fergus Falls, MN 56537, the sheriff’s office phone at 218-998-8555 and the general county line at 218-998-8000.

Court dockets running the day before the roster snapshot show multiple scheduled hearings that intersect with the custody list. The court calendar lists KELSEE JEAN MACINTOSH-ELLIG with a plea hearing in Court Room 2 at 1:30 PM on 03/02/2026 for case 56-CR-25-1523 and ELLIG, JOSEPH RICHARD with several 03/02/2026 entries in Court Room 2 across cases 56-CR-24-683, 56-CR-25-1523, 56-CR-20-529 and 56-CR-21-2431. OELFKE, JESSE PAUL is scheduled for first appearance in the Master Courtroom at 9:00 AM on 03/02/2026 for cases 56-CR-26-210 and 56-CR-26-228. Those court events occurred immediately before the March 3 roster snapshot and may account for custody changes after hearings.

The custody extract contains truncated lines and repeated numeric strings that make portions of some entries ambiguous; several roster items show only statute citations or cut-off charge text. The county roster archive and third-party daily snapshots show near-daily captures of the custody list, but readers and reporters should verify particulars such as full charge descriptions, bond amounts and projected-release dates against the complete March 3, 2026 roster or directly with the Otter Tail County Sheriff’s Office at 218-998-8555. Because the county’s public list is updated frequently, roster entries can change rapidly as court hearings and plea events proceed.
