Brainerd (trfnews.i234.me) – Joshewa Leonard Horak, 40, was booked into Crow Wing County Jail on Friday, October 16, 2026.
The official jail roster records his booking at 4:19 p.m.
His booking number is 69229.
The record lists two allegations involving first-degree burglary and fourth-degree property damage.
Both entries display the custody status “REMANDED.”
First-Degree Burglary Allegation
The more serious allegation involves first-degree burglary of an occupied dwelling.
The jail roster cites Minnesota Statute 609.582, subdivision 1(a).
The booking description references a dwelling occupied by someone who was not an accomplice.
However, the record does not identify the dwelling or describe the alleged entry.
It also does not explain what crime Horak allegedly intended to commit inside the building.
No information about stolen property or reported injuries appears in the supplied listing.
What Minnesota Burglary Law Says
Minnesota Statute 609.582 establishes different levels of burglary based on the circumstances.
First-degree burglary includes entering a building without consent while meeting certain additional conditions.
Subdivision 1(a) applies when the building is a dwelling occupied by someone other than an accomplice.
The person must be present during the alleged unauthorized entry or while the accused remains inside.
However, these are legal requirements, not independently established facts about Horak’s case.
Readers can review Minnesota Statute 609.582 – Burglary.
Fourth-Degree Property Damage Allegation
The second entry involves intentionally damaging another person’s property.
The roster cites Minnesota Statute 609.595, subdivision 3.
This provision addresses certain property damage offenses classified as misdemeanors.
However, the jail record does not identify the property allegedly damaged.
It also does not provide a repair estimate or describe the reported damage.
The listing does not confirm whether this allegation arose from the same event as the burglary allegation.
Readers can review Minnesota Statute 609.595 – Criminal Damage to Property.
Possible Penalties Under Minnesota Law
First-degree burglary is classified as a felony under Minnesota law.
A conviction can carry up to 20 years in prison or a $35,000 fine, or both.
The occupied-dwelling provision also carries a mandatory minimum incarceration requirement upon conviction.
Fourth-degree property damage is a misdemeanor.
A misdemeanor conviction can generally carry up to 90 days in jail or a $1,000 fine.
These are possible statutory penalties, not sentences imposed against Horak.
Custody Status Listed as Remanded
Both roster entries display “REMANDED.”
However, the listing does not explain the court orders behind that designation.
It also does not establish a conviction, sentence length, or confirmed release date.
Incident Location Not Confirmed
Crow Wing County Jail is located in Brainerd, Minnesota.
However, the jail’s location does not establish where the alleged burglary or property damage occurred.
No confirmed residence, street address, or incident location appears in the available record.
