Minnesota Statute 629.13 addresses when a person may be apprehended in Minnesota. It can involve a case from another state.

The statute may apply when someone is charged elsewhere. It may also apply after escape, bail, probation, or parole issues.

More information about the law is available through the Minnesota Revisor of Statutes.

The Polk County Sheriff’s Office is based in Crookston. County law enforcement details are listed on the Polk County Sheriff’s Office website.

Public court information may also become available through the Minnesota Judicial Branch.

A jail booking is not a conviction. It only shows that a person was booked into custody.

Richardson is presumed innocent unless proven guilty in court. Future court action will decide the next steps.

This story is based on recently booked Polk County Jail information. Updates may be added when confirmed records become available.
