Bemidji, Beltrami County<\/strong> (trfnews.i234.me<\/a>) \u2014 A Cass Lake man is charged in a hotel parking lot case. Police say a rifle was stolen from a truck.<\/p>\n

Cameron Juan Lindgren<\/strong>, 24, of Cass Lake, is charged with felony theft of a firearm. He also faces misdemeanor fourth-degree damage to property.<\/p>\n

What the police say happened<\/h2>\n

Bemidji police were called to the Best Western Bemidji Inn<\/a> early Friday, Feb. 13, 2026. Court papers say the call came in around 3 a.m.<\/p>\n

A truck owner reported a break-in in the hotel lot. Police believe it happened between 1 a.m. and 1:30 a.m.<\/p>\n

Police found a white GMC Sierra with a shattered rear window. A door was also left open.<\/p>\n

The owner told police an AR-15 style rifle was missing. Court papers say it had been kept inside the truck.<\/p>\n

The owner told police he suspected Lindgren. He said Lindgren knew a woman at the hotel.<\/p>\n

Police say Lindgren got angry after seeing the woman with the truck owner. The complaint says Lindgren then came to the hotel.<\/p>\n

The woman told police she saw Lindgren break into the truck. She said she saw him take the rifle. She said he then left on foot.<\/p>\n

Charges filed<\/h2>\n

Prosecutors charged Lindgren with felony theft of a firearm. State law treats firearm theft as a felony. See Minnesota Statute 609.52<\/a>.<\/p>\n

He was also charged with fourth-degree criminal damage to property. That count is a misdemeanor under Minnesota Statute 609.595<\/a>.<\/p>\n

What\u2019s next<\/h2>\n

The case is now in the Minnesota court system. A hearing date was not listed in the summary provided.<\/p>\n

Anyone with information can contact the Bemidji Police Department<\/a>.<\/p>\n

A criminal charge is not proof of guilt. Lindgren is presumed innocent unless proven guilty in court.<\/p>\n
