Detroit Lakes Jail Books Anthony Bruguier on Weapon Count

DETROIT LAKES (trfnews.i234.me) — Anthony James Bruguier, 41, appears in a Becker County Jail booking. The entry is dated October 24, 2026.

The entry lists a dangerous weapons allegation involving metal knuckles or a switchblade knife.

The cited law is Minnesota Statute 609.66, subdivision 1(a)(4).

The jail’s published offense description does not identify which of the two weapon types was involved.

It also does not explain the circumstances leading to Bruguier’s booking.

What Minnesota’s Dangerous Weapons Law Says

Minnesota Statute 609.66 addresses several offenses involving dangerous weapons.

The subsection cited in Bruguier’s booking covers manufacturing, transferring, or possessing metal knuckles or certain automatic-opening switchblade knives.

The statute sets different maximum penalties based on where a violation occurs.

Most violations under this subsection carry up to 90 days in jail, a $1,000 fine, or both.

Higher penalties may apply in certain public housing, school, or park zones.

Those cases can carry up to 364 days in jail, a $3,000 fine, or both.

The available booking entry does not say where the alleged conduct happened.

It therefore does not establish which penalty range would apply to this case.

Booking Date and Release Information

Becker County’s jail roster lists Saturday, October 24, 2026, as Bruguier’s booking date.

The estimated release date field is blank in the supplied record.

A blank field does not confirm whether Bruguier has been released or remains in custody.

The listing does not provide an incident address, arrest report, or court appearance date.

It also does not include statements from Bruguier or an account of any seized item.

The record describes an allegation rather than a court finding.
