What Minnesota Law Says

The current statute calls the offense “threats of violence.” The booking description uses the term “terroristic threats.”

Subdivision 3 concerns a replica firearm or BB gun used in a threatening manner.

Clause one covers conduct that causes or attempts to cause terror in another person.

The statute allows imprisonment for up to one year and one day. It also allows a fine of up to $3,000.

Those penalties are possible maximums. They do not show what sentence, if any, Calla may receive.

Readers can review the law through the Minnesota Revisor of Statutes.

Booking Does Not Establish Guilt

A jail booking records a person’s entry into custody. It does not prove that the person committed a crime.

Calla is presumed innocent unless proven guilty in court. Prosecutors must support the charge with admissible evidence.

A judge may later address release conditions, bail, and hearing dates. Those details were not included in the booking summary.

Polk County lists its Sheriff’s Office in Crookston. The department serves communities throughout the northwest Minnesota county.

Official information is available from the Polk County Sheriff’s Office.

Further updates may follow after verified court records become available. No police officers’ names are included in this report.
