Fergus Falls Jail Books Mark Rund on Drug Charge

Fergus Falls (trfnews.i234.me) — Mark Gordon Rund, 46, was booked into the Otter Tail County Jail on September 9, 2026.

The county custody list shows an active fifth-degree controlled substance possession charge against Rund.

The jail roster classifies the active charge as a felony.

The entry cites Minnesota Statute 152.025, subdivision 2.

The roster describes the charge as possession of a Schedule I, II, III, or IV controlled substance.

It also uses older shorthand referring to more than a small amount of marijuana.

Fifth-Degree Drug Charge

Minnesota Statute 152.025 covers fifth-degree controlled substance crimes.

Current law covers unlawful possession of certain Schedule I through IV controlled substances.

The current statute excludes cannabis flower and several legal cannabis and hemp products.

The wording differs from the shortened marijuana description shown on the jail roster.

This report preserves the charge wording listed by Otter Tail County.

The custody record does not identify the specific substance allegedly involved.

It also does not provide an alleged weight, dosage count, or laboratory result.

The Otter Tail County roster marks Rund’s drug charge as an active felony.

Current Minnesota law provides different penalties for fifth-degree possession cases.

Certain qualifying first offenses involving very small amounts can be gross misdemeanors.

Other fifth-degree possession convictions can carry up to five years in prison.

A maximum fine of $10,000 can also apply.

The statutory maximum does not predict the result of Rund’s case.

The custody record does not provide enough details to explain the felony classification.

The roster also contains a driving-after-revocation entry under Minnesota Statute 171.24, subdivision 2.

However, that entry is marked “RPR/Chg Dismiss” on the custody list.

It is not shown as an active charge in the record reviewed.

Minnesota Statute 171.24 covers driving without a valid license.

The Otter Tail County Jail is located at 416 South Mill Street in Fergus Falls.

Official information is available through the Otter Tail County Jail website.

The county also publishes an in-custody list.

The supplied record does not include a detailed criminal complaint or probable cause statement.

No individual police officer names are included in this report.

A jail booking does not establish guilt.

The active drug charge remains an allegation unless proven through the court process.

Rund is presumed innocent unless proven guilty in court.
