Mahnomen County<\/strong> (trfnews.i234.me<\/a>) \u2014 A Perley woman is facing a felony charge in Mahnomen County District Court after two e-check payments allegedly failed for lack of funds.<\/p>\n

Crystal Ann Hegreberg, of Perley, has been charged with issuing a dishonored check valued at more than $500.<\/p>\n

The charge was filed under Minnesota Statute 609.535<\/a>. Court records list the offense level as a felony.<\/p>\n

If convicted, Hegreberg could face up to five years in prison. She could also face a $10,000 fine, or both.<\/p>\n

Complaint Details<\/h2>\n

According to the complaint, the case involves two electronic checks sent by West Main Auto in Mahnomen.<\/p>\n

The checks were allegedly sent to Trophy House in Detroit Lakes on August 21, 2025.<\/p>\n

The complaint says the payments were for a sign ordered through Trophy House.<\/p>\n

The two e-checks were listed as $342 and $584.61. Together, they totaled more than $500.<\/p>\n

Eric Rulius, who works at Trophy House, told investigators the product was ready for pickup.<\/p>\n

Because of prior payment concerns, he requested payment before releasing the product.<\/p>\n

Court documents say West Main Auto used QuickBooks to send the e-checks.<\/p>\n

Rulius reportedly received confirmation that payment had been made.<\/p>\n

After that confirmation, Hegreberg allegedly picked up the products from Trophy House.<\/p>\n

Payment Demand Sent<\/h2>\n

The complaint says the bank later processed the e-checks.<\/p>\n

One or two days later, Rulius was notified that the account had insufficient funds.<\/p>\n

Rulius told investigators he exchanged several emails with Crystal Ann Hegreberg and Kasey Wilhelm Hegreberg.<\/p>\n

Those emails allegedly informed them about the failed payments.<\/p>\n

Rulius said he also requested payment several times.<\/p>\n

On September 8, 2025, Rulius sent a certified letter and a demand for payment.<\/p>\n

The letter was sent to Kasey Hegreberg and Crystal Ann Hegreberg.<\/p>\n

Court documents say the certified letter was delivered on September 12, 2025.<\/p>\n

The complaint alleges that no payment was made after the letter was delivered.<\/p>\n

Investigators later spoke with Crystal Ann Hegreberg about the insufficient funds.<\/p>\n

According to the complaint, she said she forgot to pay.<\/p>\n

She also said she would go online that night to see if payment could be made.<\/p>\n

Court Case Filed<\/h2>\n

The case is filed in Mahnomen County District Court under court file number 44-CR-25-804.<\/p>\n

The document is listed as a summons complaint in Minnesota\u2019s Ninth Judicial District.<\/p>\n

More information about Minnesota court access is available through the Minnesota Judicial Branch<\/a>.<\/p>\n

A criminal complaint is not a conviction.<\/p>\n

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