Case Remains Under Review

The booking record contains only basic custody information. It does not include probable cause details or court filings.

No bond amount or court appearance was listed at the time of booking. Additional information may become available after prosecutors file formal charges in court.

Under Minnesota law, theft offenses are classified based on several factors, including the value of the property and the circumstances of the alleged offense. The final charges and case status are determined through the court process.

A jail booking records that a person has been taken into custody. It is not evidence of guilt. All criminal charges are allegations until proven in court.

Schweninger is presumed innocent unless and until proven guilty beyond a reasonable doubt.

Public Records

Current custody information is available through the Clay County Jail Inmate Roster.

Future court filings and hearing dates may be viewed through Minnesota Court Records Online (MCRO).

Minnesota theft statutes are available through the Minnesota Revisor of Statutes.
