Becker County, MN (trfnews.i234.me) – Arthur Deshun Campbell, 19, of Detroit Lakes, has been sentenced in Becker County District Court for gross misdemeanor third-degree riot. The sentencing follows a plea agreement that saw a felony second-degree riot charge dropped.
The charges stem from an altercation on August 15, 2023, at around 12:38 a.m., involving two groups of young people in Detroit Lakes. The confrontation escalated when words were exchanged, resulting in a physical fight where one male was nicked by a knife, and a gun was fired, though no one was hit.
On May 30, Campbell appeared before District Judge Gretchen Thilmony, who sentenced him to 364 days in jail, with 311 days stayed for two years, and credit for 53 days already served. Campbell was fined $500 plus $150 in court fees and was placed on unsupervised probation for two years. He is also prohibited from using or possessing firearms, ammunition, or explosives.
