Becker County, MN (trfnews.i234.me)—On January 24, 2025, 24-year-old Seth Nathanel Eagle was booked in Becker County on charges of first-degree property damage under statute 609.595.1(4), indicating that the value of the damaged property exceeded $1,000. This offense is classified as a felony.
According to court records, the incident occurred on September 12, 2023, when Audubon police responded to a reported break-in at an apartment building on the 600 block of 6th Street. Upon arrival, officers observed that the glass on an entry door had been shattered, with fragments scattered throughout the entry area. A witness provided a description of a male suspect seen inside the apartment before fleeing into a nearby wooded area.
While searching for the suspect, law enforcement received reports of another possible break-in on 7th Street. Officers later spotted a man matching the suspect’s description running through City Park and hiding behind a trampoline. The individual, identified as Eagle, was arrested without incident.
Eagle admitted to officers that the blood on his shirt and a cut on his hand were likely from breaking the glass of one of the residences, stating that he used a rock to smash the door. Repair costs were estimated at up to $1,500, elevating the damage to a felony-level offense.
Eagle failed to appear for a court hearing on September 25, 2023, leading to a warrant being issued for his arrest. His recent booking on January 24, 2025, indicates that he is now in custody awaiting further legal proceedings.
