According to jail booking records, Brennen Joseph Griffin was booked on July 24, 2026. The booking lists two active felony charges for fifth-degree controlled substance possession and one active gross misdemeanor charge of interfering with a peace officer during the performance of official duties.

The available jail records do not provide details about the events that led to Griffin’s arrest. Additional information is expected to become available through court filings.

Felony Drug Charges

Griffin faces two felony counts of fifth-degree controlled substance possession under Minnesota law.

The booking alleges possession of a Schedule I, II, III, or IV controlled substance or drug paraphernalia containing controlled substance residue. The listed offenses specifically exclude cannabis and hemp.

Each felony count will be reviewed as the case moves through the Minnesota court system.

Obstruction Charge

In addition to the drug allegations, Griffin is charged with obstructing legal process by allegedly interfering with a peace officer.

Minnesota law makes it a crime to intentionally obstruct or interfere with law enforcement officers while they perform official duties.

The booking information does not describe the circumstances surrounding the obstruction allegation.

Case Remains Pending
