Thief River Falls: Long Vang Held on Firearm Charge
THIEF RIVER FALLS, Minn. (trfnews.i234.me) — Long Vang was booked into the Pennington County Jail on July 1, 2026.
The jail record lists one felony firearm-related charge. The charge remains an allegation unless proven in court.
Booking Record Lists Felony Charge
The booking entry identifies the charge under Minnesota Statute 624.713, subdivision 1(2). It describes alleged possession of ammunition or a firearm by an ineligible person.
The record says the restriction involves a prior crime-of-violence conviction or juvenile adjudication. It does not provide details about that earlier case.
Readers can review the law through the Minnesota Revisor of Statutes. The official law explains who may be barred from possessing firearms or ammunition.
The cited section covers some people with crime-of-violence convictions or juvenile findings. It restricts firearm and ammunition possession in qualifying cases.
The booking record classifies the new allegation as a felony. Prosecutors must still prove every required part of the charge in court.
Custody Information
The jail entry lists Vang at 5 feet 1 inch tall and 154 pounds. It lists brown hair and brown eyes.
No bail or fine amount was shown in the provided record. The listed amount was $0.00.
The court branch was listed as the District Court. No court date appeared in the booking information.
The Pennington County Jail website provides jail information and public links. Its online custody search may show later updates.
Case Status May Change
Booking records can change after a court hearing or review. Bail, court dates, and custody status may also change.
People seeking the latest case information should check the Minnesota Judicial Branch case records. Official court filings provide the most complete case history.
An arrest or jail booking does not prove guilt. Vang is presumed innocent unless convicted in court.
