Crookston (trfnews.i234.me) — Wade Jonathan Lien was booked in Polk County on August 21, 2026.
The jail record lists Lien’s date of birth as July 28, 1976.
A separate Crookston arrest report identifies Lien as a 50-year-old Grand Forks, North Dakota, resident.
The booking entry lists a probation violation as the controlling matter.
The roster also marks the entry with an “FE” felony designation.
Probation Violation Listed
The supplied jail record does not list a Minnesota statute for the probation violation.
It also does not identify the underlying criminal case tied to Lien’s probation.
No details were provided about the alleged conduct that led to the violation.
Because those details are unavailable, this report does not describe the alleged violation beyond the jail entry.
A probation violation is handled through the court process.

Booking Is Not a Finding of Guilt

It does not decide whether an alleged probation violation occurred.
That decision belongs to the court after the required legal process.
The supplied record does not show the outcome of any probation violation hearing.
It also does not provide information about release conditions or a future court date.
Court records may provide more details as the matter moves forward.
The status can also change after hearings or other court action.
