Pennington County<\/strong> (trfnews.i234.me<\/a>) \u2014 Michael Powell is being held in the Pennington County Jail after court records listed three felony counts in District Court.<\/p>\n

The booking record shows Powell was taken into custody on January 26, 2026. The listed bail or fine amount is $0.00. No court date was shown in the booking details provided here.<\/p>\n

Charges Listed In Court Record<\/h2>\n

The case number shown in the record is 26000385. The booking entry lists two identical third-degree drug possession counts under Minnesota statute 152.023.2(a)(6).<\/p>\n

The short description says the charge involves methamphetamine or amphetamine in a school zone, park zone, or public housing zone. Both counts are marked as felonies.<\/p>\n

The same case also lists a felony charge under Minnesota statute 243.166.5(a)(1). The booking entry says it involves knowingly committing an act, or failing to meet, a registration requirement.<\/p>\n

The record does not explain why the drug charge appears twice. It only shows the listed counts, the case number, and the court branch.<\/p>\n

The jail entry also lists Powell as 5 feet, 8 inches tall and 150 pounds. It lists blond hair and brown eyes.<\/p>\n

What The Public Record Shows<\/h2>\n

This jail listing is a short public record. It shows the booking date, charge titles, and the court branch. It does not include a criminal complaint or police narrative.<\/p>\n

That means many facts may still be missing from public view. More details often appear after formal court filings are posted online.<\/p>\n

A criminal charge is an accusation. It is not a conviction. The case must move through court before any final outcome is decided.<\/p>\n

Where Readers Can Learn More<\/h2>\n

Readers can review the listed drug statute at Minnesota Statute 152.023<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The registration statute is posted at Minnesota Statute 243.166<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Public case updates may also appear through Minnesota Court Records Online<\/a>.<\/p>\n

What Happens Next<\/h2>\n

The next step will likely be a court appearance in District Court. That date was not listed in the booking record shared here.<\/p>\n

TRF News will continue to follow the case and report new public details as they become available.<\/p>\n
