Brainerd (trfnews.i234.me) – Derrick Andrew Rea, 40, was booked into Crow Wing County Jail on Tuesday, October 13, 2026.
The official jail roster records his booking at 4:13 p.m.
His booking number is 69209.
The roster lists three entries involving check forgery, theft of services, and failure to appear.
Two entries are marked “HOLD PLACED.” The check forgery entry is marked “BOND/BAIL SET.”
Felony Check Forgery Allegation
The check forgery entry is classified as a felony.
It cites Minnesota Statute 609.631, subdivision 3.
That provision addresses offering a forged check, or possessing one with intent to offer it, with intent to defraud.
However, the booking record does not identify the check involved.
It also does not provide a dollar amount, name a business, or describe any alleged financial loss.
The roster does not establish whether any check was accepted or cashed.

Theft of Services Allegation
The second entry involves allegedly obtaining services without making the expected payment.
The roster classifies this entry as a misdemeanor.
It cites Minnesota Statute 609.52, subdivision 2(a)(13).
This provision addresses obtaining services with the intention of avoiding agreed or reasonably expected payment.
However, the booking record does not identify the service provider or the services allegedly obtained.
It also does not establish the amount of money involved.

Failure-to-Appear Hold Also Listed
The third entry concerns an alleged failure to appear in court.
The roster cites Minnesota Statute 609.49, subdivision 2.
That provision addresses certain failures to appear involving misdemeanor or gross misdemeanor charges.
However, the jail classifies this entry as a felony.
The cited subdivision defines the particular failure-to-appear offense as a misdemeanor.
This difference cannot be resolved from the booking record alone.
Additional court documents would be needed to confirm the applicable offense classification.
