Beltrami County: Austin Lussier Jailed on Two Charges

BELTRAMI COUNTY, MN (trfnews.i234.me) – Austin Lussier was booked into the Beltrami County Jail on October 16, 2026, according to jail records.

The jail roster lists two allegations involving threats of violence and property damage.

The more serious allegation is a felony-level threats of violence offense. The second allegation involves fourth-degree damage to property.

Both entries appear under case number 26016810, according to the booking information.

Details of the Charges

The threats of violence allegation is listed under Minnesota Statute 609.713.1.

The charge description includes reckless disregard for the risk of causing fear or serious public disruption.

Under Minnesota law, this felony offense can carry a maximum prison sentence of five years.

A conviction can also result in a fine of up to $10,000, or both penalties.

The second allegation falls under Minnesota Statute 609.595.3, which addresses fourth-degree intentional damage to property.

The jail roster classifies that offense as a gross misdemeanor. However, the cited statute describes fourth-degree property damage as a misdemeanor.

The difference between the jail classification and statutory language has not been resolved in the available records.

The jail record identifies October 16, 2026, as Lussier’s custody date.

The booking information also lists a bail or fine amount of $0.00.

That entry does not necessarily mean Lussier was released without bail or that bail was denied.

Both allegations are assigned to District Court, according to the jail roster.

No specific court appearance date appears in the information provided.

The record also does not identify the location of the alleged incident.

Details about the reported threats, damaged property, and possible victims were not included.
