Detroit Lakes (trfnews.i234.me) — A Detroit Lakes woman faces two felony charges following an investigation into a recorded jail phone call.
Jazzmine Jade Yunker, 24, is accused of discussing a plan to seriously injure another woman.
The alleged plan involved Steven Lee Larson, who was being held at the Becker County Jail.
Yunker faces charges of threats of violence and conspiracy involving third-degree assault.
The allegations appear in Becker County District Court case number 03-CR-26-2084.
Jail Phone Call Sparks Investigation
According to the criminal complaint, investigators reviewed a recorded jail call on October 10, 2026.
The call reportedly involved Larson and Yunker discussing a woman Larson believed had taken some of his clothing.
Larson was reportedly angry because the woman had been allowed inside his apartment.
At approximately five minutes into the recording, Larson allegedly began discussing plans to harm her.
He asked Yunker whether the woman could be located.
Yunker reportedly provided information about places where the woman could usually be found.
The complaint says Yunker indicated she agreed with Larson’s intentions.
Prosecutors Describe Alleged Assault Plan
According to court documents, Larson suggested Yunker take the woman for a drive.
He allegedly proposed bringing her to a lake access, where others could physically attack her.
Larson reportedly told Yunker he needed someone else to carry out the assault.
He also asked Yunker to provide advance notice so he could coordinate with other people.
The complaint alleges Yunker agreed to the proposed arrangement.
Conversation Includes Discussion of Serious Injuries
Investigators reported that Larson believed the proposed attack could send the woman to the hospital.
Yunker allegedly responded that she supported the plan, provided the woman was not killed.
Larson reportedly said he did not believe the attack would go that far.
He also allegedly wanted the woman to know he was responsible.
The conversation later shifted toward identifying the woman’s boyfriend.
Yunker reportedly provided the boyfriend’s name, which Larson said he was writing down.
The supplied complaint does not establish that the planned assault actually occurred.
Two Felony Charges Filed
Yunker faces one felony count of threats of violence under Minnesota Statute 609.713.
The second count is labeled third-degree assault involving substantial bodily harm.
However, its description alleges conspiracy to commit assault, rather than a completed attack.
That count references Minnesota Statute 609.223 and the state’s conspiracy statute.
The complaint lists a maximum penalty of five years in prison and a $10,000 fine for each count.
The conspiracy statute may affect the applicable sentencing limit for the second count.
Becker County Court Proceedings
The complaint is filed as a warrant matter in Minnesota’s Seventh Judicial District.
The supplied document does not establish whether the warrant was served or whether Yunker entered a plea.
Readers can search case number 03-CR-26-2084 through Minnesota Court Records Online.
All charges remain allegations unless proven in court.
Yunker is presumed innocent unless proven guilty.
