GREENBUSH, Minn. (trfnews.i234.me) — A Greenbush man faces a felony charge after allegedly burning his girlfriend’s belongings following a dispute.
Aaron Christopher Brazier, 35, of Greenbush, was charged with first-degree criminal damage to property in Roseau County District Court.
According to the criminal complaint, Brazier allegedly burned personal belongings belonging to his girlfriend in July 2026.
The woman reported that her damaged property was worth more than $1,000.
Girlfriend Reports Belongings Burned
The Roseau County Sheriff’s Office received a report about the incident on August 2, 2026.
Authorities responded to a property at 23605 220th Avenue near Greenbush.
According to court documents, the woman said Brazier had kicked her out of his residence on July 28.
She told investigators that Brazier began throwing her belongings outside before setting them on fire.
The complaint alleges the property was destroyed without her permission.
Brazier Admits Burning Property
Investigators later spoke with Brazier about the allegations.
According to the complaint, Brazier admitted that he had burned some of his girlfriend’s belongings.
However, he claimed he believed the items were things she had already planned to burn.
Brazier reportedly acknowledged that burning the property was not the right thing to do.
He also admitted burning a nightstand belonging to the woman.
According to court documents, Brazier said he did not know the nightstand contained money.
Brazier then showed investigators the burn pit where the belongings had reportedly been destroyed.
Video and Photographs Included in Investigation
The complaint describes a video that Brazier allegedly recorded and sent to his girlfriend.
In the recording, Brazier reportedly told her that he had cleared out and burned her belongings.
Investigators also received photographs showing what appeared to be personal property piled together.
Additional photographs reportedly showed the fire and the area where the items had been burned.
Property Damage Reportedly Exceeds $1,000
The woman provided investigators with an itemized list of the belongings she said Brazier destroyed.
According to the complaint, the listed items had a combined value exceeding $1,000.
That reported amount is central to the felony charge filed against Brazier.
Prosecutors allege Brazier intentionally damaged another person’s property without consent.
Felony Charge Carries Possible Prison Sentence
Brazier is charged under Minnesota Statute 609.595, Subdivision 1(4).
The law covers intentional property damage that reduces property value by more than $1,000.
A conviction can result in up to five years in prison, a $10,000 fine, or both.
The case is filed in Minnesota’s Ninth Judicial District under court file number 68-CR-26-628.
