Perham Home Break-In: Jonathan Allard Charged
Perham (trfnews.i234.me) — Jonathan Lee Allard, 44, faces felony burglary and misdemeanor trespass charges after an alleged home entry.

Reported Perham Home Entry
A Perham homeowner reported that someone entered his residence on Tuesday night.
According to a local news report, the homeowner was watching soccer when the front door opened suddenly.
Prosecutors allege Allard entered the home and grabbed the homeowner’s shoulder.
The homeowner reportedly pushed him away and repeatedly told him to leave.
Allard allegedly continued moving farther into the living room.
The homeowner later forced him outside, according to the report.
Police found Allard walking away from the area and took him into custody.
Burglary and Trespass Charges
The felony count alleges first-degree burglary involving an assault inside a building or on nearby property.
Minnesota Statute 609.582, subdivision 1(c), covers that form of first-degree burglary.
