Becker County (trfnews.i234.me) — Prosecutors say two Menahga men used masks and brass knuckles in a Becker County home invasion.
Court records identify the defendants as Jason Donarski and Jayden Burton. Both are charged with several felonies.
The complaint says the attack happened on November 22, 2025. A man reported that masked intruders entered his home in Becker County.
Investigators say the men wore masks and brought brass knuckles. They allegedly forced their way into the occupied dwelling.
The victim told officials the intruders punched and hit him. He reported injuries after the beating inside his own home.
Even with the masks, the victim said he recognized the men. He said he had known Donarski and Burton for some time.
Court documents add that the victim once worked as a confidential informant. He had assisted a prior case involving one suspect.
Investigators think that informant work may relate to the alleged attack. A third person may also have been involved in the incident.
No charges have yet been filed against that third person. The case is still under review, according to the complaint.
Donarski and Burton each face felony burglary and felony assault counts. They also face a charge of burglary of an occupied dwelling.
The case is moving through Becker County District Court. People can search public records at mncourts.gov.
Minnesota statutes on assault and burglary are available at revisor.mn.gov, which lists current state laws.
Crime victims in Minnesota can seek help and compensation information from the Office of Justice Programs at ojp.dps.mn.gov.
At this stage, the charges remain only allegations. Jason Donarski and Jayden Burton are presumed innocent unless a judge or jury decides otherwise.
