Mahnomen County<\/strong> (trfnews.i234.me)<\/a> \u2014 A Mahnomen County woman is facing a felony charge after prosecutors said two e-checks were not honored and the balance was more than $500.<\/p>\n

According to a criminal complaint filed in Minnesota District Court<\/a>, Crystal Ann Hegreberg<\/strong>, 41, of Perley, is charged with issuing a dishonored check. The charge is a felony under Minnesota Statute 609.535<\/a>.<\/p>\n

What The Complaint Says<\/h2>\n

Court records say the case began with a report from Eric Rulius of Trophy House in Detroit Lakes. He told authorities that West Main Auto in Mahnomen ordered a sign. The invoice was created on August 21, 2025.<\/p>\n

Rulius said he asked for payment before pickup because of earlier problems with the Hegrebergs. The complaint says West Main Auto then used QuickBooks to send two e-checks that day. One was for $342.00. The second was for $584.61.<\/p>\n

The total was $926.61.<\/p>\n

Records say QuickBooks first showed the payment as received. After that, Hegreberg picked up the sign products from Trophy House. But a day or two later, the business was told the account did not have enough money to cover the checks.<\/p>\n

Demand Letter Sent<\/h2>\n

The complaint says Rulius then exchanged several emails with Crystal Ann Hegreberg and Kasey Hegreberg. He told them the payments had failed. He also asked them to make the balance good.<\/p>\n

On September 8, 2025, a certified demand letter was sent to both Crystal Ann Hegreberg and Kasey Hegreberg, according to the complaint. Court records say the letter was delivered on September 12, 2025.<\/p>\n

Prosecutors say no payment was made after the letter was delivered.<\/p>\n

Charge Filed In Mahnomen County<\/h2>\n

Authorities later spoke with Crystal Ann Hegreberg about the returned payments, the complaint states. She allegedly said she forgot to pay and would go online that night to see if she could pay it.<\/p>\n

The charge filed in Mahnomen County alleges that Hegreberg issued dishonored checks with the intent that they would not be paid. Under Minnesota law, the felony charge carries a maximum penalty of five years in prison, a $10,000 fine, or both.<\/p>\n

A criminal charge is an allegation. A defendant is presumed innocent unless proven guilty in court.<\/p>\n
