WARREN, Minn. (trfnews.i234.me) — Edward Lee Langaas, 46, was listed as booked into Marshall County Jail on October 27, 2026.

The official jail roster lists a warrant notation and a fifth-degree controlled substance possession allegation.

The booking identifies Kittson as the agency associated with the entry.

The available information does not explain the warrant or identify where the alleged drug offense occurred.

Fifth-Degree Drug Possession Allegation

Langaas’s booking entry cites Minnesota Statute 152.025, subdivision 2(a)(1).

The law covers certain unlawful possession offenses involving controlled substances in Schedules I, II, III, and IV.

However, the statute excludes certain cannabis products and residual drug amounts found in paraphernalia.

Readers can review the full law through the Minnesota Revisor of Statutes.

The booking description does not identify the substance allegedly involved.

It also provides no quantity, laboratory results, or description of a search.

No information about a traffic stop, search warrant, or other investigation was included.

Warrant Listed in Jail Record

The official booking entry also includes the word “WARRANT.”

However, the available information does not identify the issuing court or explain the warrant’s purpose.

It does not establish whether the warrant concerns the listed drug allegation or another matter.

The record also does not provide a court file number or details about any scheduled appearance.

Possible Penalties Under Minnesota Law

Minnesota law provides different penalties for fifth-degree controlled substance possession offenses.

Certain qualifying first offenses involving small amounts are classified as gross misdemeanors.

Other violations can carry felony penalties of up to five years in prison.

The law also allows fines of up to $10,000 for those felony offenses.

These are possible penalties, not a sentence imposed on Langaas.

The booking entry does not provide enough information to establish which penalty classification applies.

Marshall County Jail Information

Marshall County Jail is located at 208 East Colvin Avenue in Warren, Minnesota.

The facility operates under the Marshall County Sheriff’s Office.

The official jail roster identifies Langaas’s booking date as October 27, 2026.

The roster was updated on October 29 and lists Langaas among its inmate entries.

That listing does not establish his custody status after the update.

The sheriff’s office advises readers to contact the department to confirm custody information.

Court Records and Case Updates

Additional court documents may provide details about the alleged offense and listed warrant.

Those documents may identify any formally filed charges, hearing dates, and other case information.

Readers can search available public records through Minnesota Court Records Online.

However, pending criminal cases generally cannot be located using only a defendant’s name.

A case number or another permitted search method may be needed.

A jail booking is not proof that a crime occurred.

Langaas is presumed innocent of the reported allegation unless proven guilty in court.

TRF News will report additional verified information if it becomes available.
