Thief River Falls, MN (trfnews.i234.me) — A Thief River Falls man faces a felony registration charge.
Frailan Narvaiz III, 48, is charged in Pennington County. Court records say he had to report job changes. Prosecutors allege he did not report a change in employment.
The charge is an accusation. Narvaiz is presumed innocent in court.
Compliance check on Dec. 9
A sheriff’s deputy went to 14816 137th Ave. N.E. on Dec. 9. The visit was a compliance check, the complaint says.
During the contact, Narvaiz said he had been fired about a week earlier. The complaint says he also said he had not reported it.
Narvaiz told the deputy he would go to the Law Enforcement Center. He said he would complete the form two days later.
Follow-up on Dec. 15
The deputy returned to work on Dec. 15. The deputy learned the form was still missing, the complaint says.
The deputy then requested a non-compliance packet through the Minnesota Bureau of Criminal Apprehension.
Later that day, Narvaiz went to the Law Enforcement Center. The complaint says he filled out a change-of-information packet.
Investigators asked about the last day of employment. The complaint says Narvaiz was unsure about a Dec. 2 end date.
He later told the deputy the end date was Sept. 2, the complaint says. The deputy confirmed he started Aug. 18 and was fired Sept. 2.
The complaint says Narvaiz later could not explain the date confusion. He said he did not know why he gave a recent date.
Earlier check noted in the complaint
The complaint also describes a compliance check on Aug. 25. Investigators say Narvaiz had not updated his registration for the same job.
At that time, he told the deputy he started working about a week earlier, the complaint says.
Charge filed Feb. 9
The felony complaint was filed Feb. 9. The charge alleges failure to fulfill predatory offender registration requirements. It focuses on a failure to report a job change.

The statute is Minnesota Statutes 243.166.
