Crookston Jail Lists Alexander Lamb on Alcohol Count
CROOKSTON (trfnews.i234.me) — A regional jail entry lists Alexander Lee Lamb, 18, with an alcohol-related misdemeanor allegation.
The supplied record gives Monday, October 26, 2026, as his incarceration date.
The listed offense concerns alcohol consumption by someone younger than 21 under Minnesota law.
The brief entry does not describe the events leading to the listing.
Underage Consumption Allegation Listed
The jail record identifies Lamb’s date of birth as March 27, 2008.
It cites Minnesota Statute 340A.503, subdivision 1(a)(2), for the listed offense.
The entry uses the code MS, identifying the allegation as a misdemeanor.
No additional offense appears in the short excerpt provided for this report.
The record does not identify where the alleged alcohol consumption occurred.
It also provides no police narrative, responding agency, witness statement, or chemical test result.
What Minnesota’s Under-21 Alcohol Law Says
Minnesota Statute 340A.503 generally prohibits people under 21 from consuming alcoholic beverages.
The law includes an affirmative defense for qualifying consumption inside a parent or guardian’s household with consent.
Whether that defense applies depends on facts not included in Lamb’s jail entry.
State law also allows certain prosecutions where officials observe evidence of earlier consumption.
That provision does not establish where the alleged activity occurred in this case.
Minnesota Statute 340A.703 classifies applicable violations as misdemeanors.
It also requires a minimum $100 fine when an under-21 violation is established.
The listing does not establish that any fine or sentence was imposed on Lamb.
Incident and Court Details Not Provided
The excerpt does not include a court case number, bail information, or a scheduled court appearance.
It does not state whether prosecutors subsequently filed a criminal complaint.
No release date or current detention status appears in the information provided.
An incarceration date alone does not establish that someone remains in jail.
The allegation also does not establish a conviction or any finding of criminal responsibility.
Checking Regional Jail Records
The Northwest Regional Corrections Center operates in Crookston and serves several northwest Minnesota counties.
Its public inmate roster contains custody information that may change as records are updated.
Tri-County Community Corrections says the roster is generally updated on weekday mornings.
Readers can also consult Minnesota Court Records Online for available public filings.
Those records may clarify any later court proceedings or changes in the listed allegation.
Lamb is presumed innocent unless proven guilty in court.
