The listed charges include escape from custody and fifth-degree controlled substance possession.
The booking information identifies Reierson’s inmate type as “PCSO.” Both offenses are marked with an “F,” indicating felony classifications in the jail entry.
Reierson Listed on Felony Escape Charge
The first charge involves escape from custody under Minnesota Statute 609.485, subdivision 2(1).
This law addresses escaping while being held under a lawful arrest or while in custody for a criminal case.
Minnesota law also recognizes certain failures to return to lawful custody as escape offenses.
However, the booking entry does not explain the circumstances surrounding Reierson’s alleged escape.
It does not identify the location, date, or custody arrangement connected with the allegation.
The listing also does not establish whether the alleged incident involved leaving a correctional facility or another form of custody.
Fifth-Degree Drug Possession Also Listed
Reierson also faces a listed drug possession allegation under Minnesota Statute 152.025, subdivision 2(1).
The law addresses unlawful possession of certain Schedule I, II, III, and IV controlled substances.
It also addresses certain drug residue allegations involving paraphernalia. Specific cannabis and hemp products are excluded from this provision.
The jail entry classifies the allegation as a felony.
However, Minnesota law provides a gross misdemeanor classification for some qualifying small-quantity possession offenses.
