The jail record lists one allegation involving threats of violence made with reckless disregard for causing terror.

Threats of Violence Allegation Listed

According to the booking record, Hansen is listed under an allegation described as “Terroristic Threats Cause Terror w/ Reckless Disregard.”

The allegation concerns conduct addressed by Minnesota’s threats of violence law.

However, the available jail listing does not describe what Hansen allegedly said or did.

It also does not identify anyone reportedly threatened.

No details about the circumstances leading to her arrest were included in the supplied information.

The record does not identify whether the alleged threat was spoken, written, or communicated another way.

What Minnesota Law Says About Threats

Minnesota Statute 609.713 establishes criminal penalties for certain threats involving violent crimes.

Subdivision 1 covers threats made with the purpose of causing terror.

It also addresses threats made with reckless disregard for the risk of causing terror.

The law can apply to direct or indirect threats when its legal requirements are met.

However, the booking record does not explain how authorities believe Hansen violated the statute.

A conviction under subdivision 1 can carry up to five years in prison.

The statute also allows a fine of up to $10,000, or both penalties.

These are maximum possible penalties, not a sentence imposed against Hansen.
