No detailed police report was included with the jail information.

The listing does not state when the alleged trespass occurred.

It also does not describe what allegedly happened before Kurth was asked to leave.

Those facts may become available through later court records or charging documents.

What Minnesota Law Says

Minnesota Statute 609.605 covers several types of trespass.

Subdivision 1(b)(3) applies when someone remains on another person’s property without a lawful claim.

The statute requires a demand to leave from the property’s lawful possessor.

A person who intentionally refuses that demand can face a misdemeanor charge.

The jail roster lists Kurth’s alleged offense at the misdemeanor level.

The information provided does not show any enhanced trespass allegation.

Possible Penalty

A Minnesota misdemeanor can carry up to 90 days in jail.

It can also carry a fine of up to $1,000.

Those limits are found in Minnesota Statute 609.03.

Those are maximum penalties and do not represent a sentence in Kurth’s case.

The final outcome depends on the evidence and court proceedings.

Readers can search available cases through Minnesota Court Records Online.

Beltrami County also maintains an online inmate search.

A jail booking and criminal charge do not establish Kurth’s guilt.

Kurth is presumed innocent unless proven guilty in court.
