Thief River Falls Jail Holds Man on Registration Charge

THIEF RIVER FALLS (trfnews.i234.me) — Lane Anderson was booked into the Pennington County Jail on June 25, 2026.

The jail roster lists Anderson on a hold connected to one felony charge in District Court.

The charge alleges Anderson knowingly violated a requirement under Minnesota’s predatory offender registration law.

The listed case number is 26002729.

Jail records show no court date for the case. The listed bail or fine amount is $0.00.

That amount does not explain whether Anderson may be released. Release conditions can change after a court hearing.

Booking Information

The record lists black hair and brown eyes.

Anderson remained listed at the Pennington County Jail when the information was provided for this report.

The jail is operated by the Pennington County Sheriff’s Office in Thief River Falls.

Minnesota Statute 243.166 covers registration duties for people required to register as predatory offenders.

A conviction under this section can bring up to five years in prison.

The law also allows a fine of up to $10,000, or both penalties.

Those are maximum penalties and do not predict the outcome of Anderson’s case.

The court is inside the Pennington County Justice Center in Thief River Falls.

The state must prove the allegation in court beyond a reasonable doubt.

Anderson is presumed innocent unless he is found guilty through the court process.
