Compliance Check At Ruffed Grouse Roadhouse<\/h2>\n

According to the complaint, local and state task force agents were checking liquor businesses.<\/p>\n

The checks took place at establishments on the White Earth Reservation.<\/p>\n

At about 4:18 p.m., undisclosed under-21 decoys entered Ruffed Grouse Roadhouse.<\/p>\n

The business is listed at 1336 300th Avenue in Lengby.<\/p>\n

The complaint says the decoys later left with an open bottle of beer.<\/p>\n

Decoys reported that a dark-haired female bartender served them alcohol.<\/p>\n

They also reported that the bartender did not ask for identification.<\/p>\n

The complaint says the decoys paid for the alcohol and left the bar.<\/p>\n

Bartender Later Identified<\/h2>\n

Investigators returned to Ruffed Grouse Roadhouse on December 4, 2025.<\/p>\n

The complaint says a bartender was shown a photo of the woman who allegedly served the decoys.<\/p>\n

That bartender identified the woman as Tina Christine Olson.<\/p>\n

Investigators later returned and spoke with Olson in person.<\/p>\n

According to the complaint, Olson did not recognize the decoy.<\/p>\n

Her full name and date of birth were confirmed.<\/p>\n

No police officer names are being included in this report.<\/p>\n

Charge Remains An Allegation<\/h2>\n

The charge is an allegation at this stage.<\/p>\n

Olson is presumed innocent unless proven guilty in court.<\/p>\n

The case was filed as a summons in Mahnomen County District Court.<\/p>\n

More information about Minnesota court records is available through Minnesota Court Records Online<\/a>.<\/p>\n
