Charges Listed by the Jail
Minnesota law defines fourth-degree burglary as entering a building without consent to commit certain misdemeanor offenses.
The law also covers committing such an offense after entering the building.
Fourth-degree property damage is generally treated as a misdemeanor under Minnesota law.
Fifth-degree assault can involve causing fear of immediate harm. It can also involve inflicting or attempting bodily harm.
What Happens Next
A jail booking is an administrative record. It does not prove that a person committed a crime.
The charges remain allegations unless they are proven in court. Gates is presumed innocent unless proven guilty.
Court filings may later provide more information about the allegations. Those records may include probable cause details and future hearing dates.
