Crookston: Bruce Auginash Booked on Drug Charge

The jail entry lists a fifth-degree controlled substance possession charge. It describes the allegation as involving more than a small amount of marijuana.

Booking Information

The entry cites Minnesota Statute 152.025, subdivision 2(a)(1). The booking information lists the charge as a felony.

Auginash was born on July 15, 1994. He was 31 years old on the listed booking date.

The available entry provides only basic jail information. It does not describe the events that led to the booking.

No location for the alleged offense was included in the supplied record. No amount or substance details were listed.

The record also does not identify a court date, bail amount, or case number. Those details may appear in court records.

What the Statute Says

Readers can review Minnesota Statute 152.025 through the state Revisor of Statutes.

The current law covers certain Schedule I, II, III, and IV substances. It includes exceptions for cannabis flower and cannabis products.

The supplied booking entry uses separate wording about marijuana. A criminal complaint would clarify the formal allegation and legal basis.

More local information is available through the official Polk County website.

Charge Remains an Allegation

A jail booking is not proof of guilt. Auginash is presumed innocent unless proven guilty in court.

Charges can change after prosecutors review reports and evidence. A court may also dismiss or reduce a charge.

The wording in a jail entry may differ from a criminal complaint. The complaint normally contains the formal claims filed in court.

TRF News will update this report when verified court information becomes available. Future updates should include hearing dates and case details.

Public records can change after release, charging, or a court decision. Readers should check official sources for the latest information.
