Crookston: Brian Keith Frazier Booked on Drug Charge

POLK COUNTY, Minn. (trfnews.i234.me) — A jail booking dated October 26, 2026, lists Brian Keith Frazier, 55.

The booking information identifies Frazier by name and gives his birth date as July 31, 1971.

It lists a felony-level, third-degree controlled substance possession allegation.

The short booking description mentions three grams or more of cocaine, heroin, or methamphetamine.

The entry does not identify which substance is involved in his case.

It also does not provide a confirmed drug weight or an arrest location.

October 26 Booking Details

The record cites Minnesota Statute 152.023, subdivision 2(a)(1), as the listed offense code.

That citation is important because the current law uses different wording from the short booking description.

Under the current statute, subdivision 2(a)(1) covers 10 grams or more of certain narcotics.

Heroin and fentanyl are excluded from that specific provision.

Another part of the same law addresses certain heroin and fentanyl amounts.

The booking summary alone does not explain the difference between its brief label and the cited statute.

A criminal complaint or updated court record may provide more detail.

What Minnesota Drug Laws Say

Third-degree controlled substance crimes are defined in Minnesota Statute 152.023.

The rules cover several forms of possession and sale, with different conditions for each offense.

A conviction under this statute can carry up to 20 years in prison.

The law also allows a fine of up to $250,000.

Those figures describe legal maximums, not a sentence imposed in this case.

No sentence or conviction is established by the booking entry.

The reported charge remains an allegation unless proven in court.

Questions About the Case Remain

The supplied record does not state whether Frazier has appeared before a judge.

It does not list a bail amount, attorney, or future hearing date.

The record also does not describe the events leading to the booking.

It would be inaccurate to assume an arrest site, search, or drug seizure from this limited information.

A booking date cannot establish how long someone will remain in custody.

Custody records may change after release, transfer, or further court action.

Where to Find Official Updates

Tri-County Community Corrections publishes the local inmate roster for the Northwest Regional Corrections Center in Crookston.

That roster is normally updated on weekday mornings.

The Minnesota Judicial Branch offers public court information through Minnesota Court Records Online.

Court filings can help clarify the precise charge, hearing schedule, and eventual case outcome.

The court website warns that pending criminal cases may not appear in searches by name.

Readers should verify newer records before treating a booking summary as a final result.

Frazier is presumed innocent unless and until proven guilty.
