Bemidji<\/strong> (trfnews.i234.me<\/a>) \u2014 A Bemidji man is facing a felony assault charge after a parking lot dispute at Lueken\u2019s North Grocery Store allegedly left a 71-year-old man with a fractured hip.<\/p>\n

Felony Charge Filed In Beltrami County<\/h2>\n

According to a criminal complaint filed in Beltrami County District Court, Jacob Emil Fisher<\/strong> has been charged with third-degree assault causing substantial bodily harm.<\/p>\n

The case is filed under court number 04-CR-26-850 in Minnesota\u2019s 9th Judicial District.<\/p>\n

The alleged incident happened on or about February 11, 2026, in Bemidji.<\/p>\n

Under Minnesota Statute 609.223<\/a>, third-degree assault involving substantial bodily harm is a felony. The charge carries a maximum sentence of five years in prison, a $10,000 fine, or both.<\/p>\n

Complaint Details Parking Lot Dispute<\/h2>\n

The complaint says officers responded to Lueken\u2019s North Grocery Store after a reported altercation in the parking lot.<\/p>\n

The alleged victim, identified in court documents as J.S., told police he was sitting in his parked truck. He said a black SUV was parked next to him.<\/p>\n

J.S. reported that the SUV driver asked him to move. The driver allegedly said the truck door might hit the SUV.<\/p>\n

The complaint says the driver then yelled and took a photo of J.S.\u2019s license plate.<\/p>\n

J.S. told police he got out of his truck. He said he walked toward the front of the SUV to take a photo of its license plate.<\/p>\n

During that time, J.S. alleged the SUV driver shoved him to the ground.<\/p>\n

J.S. said he felt pain in his hip after the fall. He later went to the hospital for treatment.<\/p>\n

Medical Records Cited In Complaint<\/h2>\n

According to the complaint, medical records showed J.S. suffered a closed, nondisplaced fracture of the anterior wall of his left acetabulum.<\/p>\n

The acetabulum is part of the hip socket.<\/p>\n

J.S. told police he is 71 years old. He described the other driver as heavy-set, with a brown beard and glasses.<\/p>\n

The complaint says J.S. also provided the SUV\u2019s license plate number.<\/p>\n

Investigators later found that the SUV was registered to Jacob Emil Fisher. Court documents say his license photo matched the general description given by J.S.<\/p>\n

Surveillance Video Reviewed<\/h2>\n

The complaint says surveillance video showed J.S. leaving his truck and moving toward the front of the SUV.<\/p>\n

The video allegedly showed Jacob Fisher moving quickly toward J.S. before J.S. fell to the ground.<\/p>\n

A summons was issued in the case.<\/p>\n

Readers can search public Minnesota court records through Minnesota Court Records Online<\/a>. The state court system says MCRO provides online access to many public district court records.<\/p>\n

All defendants are presumed innocent unless proven guilty in court.<\/p>\n
