Mahnomen County (trfnews.i234.me) — A Mahnomen County man now faces a felony charge after investigators said they found ammunition during a search at a home near Mahnomen.
According to a criminal complaint filed in Mahnomen County District Court, 40-year-old Guy Anthony Keezer Jr., of Waubun, is charged with possession of a firearm or ammunition by a person convicted of a crime of violence.
Search Warrant Led To Charge
The complaint says a search warrant was granted on March 17, 2026, for a person and property at 3309 State Highway 200 in Mahnomen County.
Law enforcement executed that warrant on March 18. Several people were found inside the home. Court records say the southwest bedroom held Kenneth Joel Lafriniere Jr., Guy Anthony Keezer Jr., and Jeremy Curtis Neeland.
Two more people were found in another bedroom. The complaint says they first gave false names. Investigators later identified them as Jemichael Leon Mccoy Jr. and Jaycia Lace Littleowl.
Ammunition Found During Search
The complaint says Keezer spoke with an officer during a pat-down. Keezer reportedly told the officer to check his “fifth wheel” pocket.
Investigators say they then found one unspent 9mm round in that pocket.
According to the complaint, Keezer became upset and said he was not allowed to possess such items because of his felony record.
Prosecutors cited prior convictions that included third-degree assault and burglary cases. Under Minnesota Statute 609.165, some people convicted of violent felonies are barred from possessing firearms or ammunition.
Other Evidence Listed In Complaint
The complaint also describes other evidence found during the search. Investigators reported finding suspected fentanyl, scales, cash, bindles, ammunition, and phones in different parts of the property.
Authorities said the southwest bedroom belonged to Kenneth Lafriniere Jr. and Leslie Joy Keezer. The northwest bedroom was said to be used by Jaycia Lace Littleowl and Jemichael Leon Mccoy Jr. The northeast bedroom was listed as Guy Keezer’s room.
Keezer’s case is now moving through the Minnesota court system. A criminal complaint contains allegations. The charge has not been proven in court.
