Waubun Man Faces 5 Charges After Campground Fight

Waubun (trfnews.i234.me) — Jonah Michael Stalboerger faces five charges after an alleged campground fight in Mahnomen County.

The incident happened late July 20, 2026, at Little Elbow Lake Campground.

The charges include domestic assault, property damage, obstruction, fifth-degree assault, and disorderly conduct.

The allegations are detailed in Mahnomen County District Court file 44-CR-26-418.

Brothers Reportedly Fight at Campground

Law enforcement responded at about 11:46 p.m. after receiving a report of a fight between two brothers.

Dalton Beyer told investigators that his brother, Stalboerger, had attacked him.

Stalboerger told authorities that Beyer had punched him first, according to the complaint.

Beyer said the dispute began while a group was setting up a tent.

He alleged Stalboerger became angry because the group was not working fast enough.

Beyer said Stalboerger swung at him before Beyer swung back.

Investigators also reported visible damage to Beyer’s motorcycle.

The damage included a torn seat, dented tank, damaged muffler, footpeg, and side cover.

The complaint also says Beyer’s tent was damaged.

Witness Alexa Hisgun told investigators that Stalboerger was the aggressor, according to the complaint.

She alleged he pushed over the motorcycle and damaged the tent.

Hisgun also said Stalboerger pushed Beyer’s 15-year-old nephew.

The teenager was reportedly trying to separate the brothers.

TRF News is not identifying the teenager because he is a minor.

The complaint also alleges Stalboerger pushed Duane Sayers, who uses a wheelchair.

Stalboerger allegedly admitted drinking beer and brandy before the confrontation.

Authorities said Stalboerger became more aggressive when officers attempted to resolve the situation.

He allegedly refused transportation options and began yelling while other campers were nearby.

When officers attempted an arrest, Stalboerger allegedly refused to place his hands behind his back.

The complaint says he struck his head against a vehicle and took a fighting stance.

Authorities used a Taser before taking him into custody.

He was later taken for medical clearance after repeatedly striking his head, court records allege.

Stalboerger faces gross misdemeanor domestic assault under Minnesota Statute 609.2242.

He also faces third-degree property damage under Minnesota Statute 609.595.

A gross misdemeanor obstruction count cites Minnesota Statute 609.50.

The remaining counts involve fifth-degree assault and disorderly conduct.

Public case records may be available through Minnesota Court Records Online.

The charges are allegations and do not establish guilt.

Stalboerger is presumed innocent unless proven guilty in court.
