Bjorgan, 27, of East Grand Forks, is charged with failure to register as a predatory offender. The case was filed in Polk County District Court in the 9th Judicial District.<\/p>\n
The charge is listed under Minnesota Statute 243.166<\/a>. The complaint says Bjorgan was required to follow state registration rules.<\/p>\n According to the complaint, Bjorgan allegedly failed to register a change of address. The alleged offense happened on or about May 6, 2026.<\/p>\n Prosecutors say the alleged violation followed a prior registration-related conviction. Court documents say Bjorgan was convicted of a predatory offender registration violation on June 10, 2025.<\/p>\n The complaint also states that Bjorgan was previously convicted of first-degree criminal sexual contact in 2013. That conviction required him to register with the Minnesota Bureau of Criminal Apprehension.<\/p>\n The Minnesota BCA maintains information on predatory offender registration rules. More information is available through the Minnesota Bureau of Criminal Apprehension<\/a>.<\/p>\n Authorities said Bjorgan was expected to move into the East Grand Inn in East Grand Forks after release from prison. The expected move-in date was April 6, 2026.<\/p>\n The complaint says state officials later listed Bjorgan as noncompliant. The reason given was a failure to return a verification packet.<\/p>\n Bjorgan allegedly told authorities by phone that the packet was returned late. He also reportedly said he would return to the East Grand Inn the next day.<\/p>\n Later, a corrections agent contacted the motel and learned Bjorgan\u2019s room was empty. On May 6, staff told law enforcement that Bjorgan had left around April 25 or April 26.<\/p>\n The charge carries a maximum sentence of not less than two years and not more than five years. It may also include a $10,000 fine, or both.<\/p>\n A criminal complaint is not a conviction. Bjorgan is presumed innocent unless proven guilty in court.<\/p>\n Court records can be searched through the Minnesota Judicial Branch<\/a>.<\/p>\n I’m Chris Harper reporting for TRF News<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" East Grand Forks Man Charged In Registry Case East Grand Forks (trfnews.i234.me) \u2014 A Polk County warrant has been issued for Tyrone Howard Bjorgan II after prosecutors filed a felony charge against him in Minnesota District Court.
