EAST GRAND FORKS, MN (trfnews.i234.me) – On January 4, 2025, law enforcement in East Grand Forks responded to a reported burglary. According to court documents, Jeramy Ray Burger, 34, of Crookston, was charged with first-degree burglary.
Burger allegedly obtained a key to access the residence of a woman who had an active protection order against him. Upon arrival, police discovered Burger concealed in the pantry, wearing a hood over his head.
First-degree burglary in Minnesota is defined as entering a building without consent and with intent to commit a crime, particularly when the building is occupied, or the intruder possesses a dangerous weapon. Convictions can result in significant penalties, including imprisonment and fines.
Violating a protection order is a serious offense, potentially leading to additional charges and penalties. Such orders are legal measures designed to protect individuals from harassment or harm, and breaching them undermines their effectiveness.
As of now, no further details have been released regarding Burger’s court appearances or potential sentencing. The case underscores the importance of adhering to legal restrictions and the serious consequences of violating protection orders.
