Polk County (trfnews.i234.me) — Randy Lee Hanks was recently booked into the Polk County Jail on April 21, 2026, according to the booking information provided for this report.
The booking detail lists one felony charge. It is listed as terroristic threats with reckless disregard of risk. The statute number provided is 609.713.1. The record also lists Hanks’ date of birth as Jan. 2, 1970.
Charge Listed in Booking Record
The charge listed in the booking detail matches Minnesota Statute 609.713. That law covers threats of violence. It includes cases involving reckless disregard of the risk of causing terror or serious public inconvenience.
The public booking detail shared for this story is brief. It does not include a case number. It also does not list a court date, hearing time, or bail amount. No added narrative was provided with the booking entry.
Because the entry is limited, this report does not include the events behind the allegation. It also does not include claims from officers, prosecutors, or witnesses that were not part of the public booking detail.
Jail and Court Information
Polk County says jail questions should be directed to the Justice Center. Public court information in Minnesota may later appear through Minnesota Court Records Online.
The Minnesota Judicial Branch also provides court access tools, hearing information, and court contact resources. Those public systems may show more details after filings are entered.
What Happens Next
A booking record is not a conviction. A criminal charge is an allegation until it is tested in court. Every defendant is presumed innocent unless proven guilty.
This story is based only on the booking information provided and official public court and county links. It does not include police names. It also does not add facts that were not in the public booking detail.
