Fergus Falls Man Held on Threats, Assault Charges<\/h2>\n

FERGUS FALLS<\/strong> (trfnews.i234.me<\/a>) \u2014 Dustin Robert Nelson, 44, remains listed at the Otter Tail County Jail.<\/p>\n

The county roster shows Nelson was booked on June 9, 2026. His booking number is 002600000506.<\/p>\n

The roster lists two active charges. One is a felony threat of violence allegation.<\/p>\n

The second is a misdemeanor fifth-degree assault allegation. Both charges remain active on the public roster.<\/p>\n

Threats of Violence Charge<\/h2>\n

The felony charge cites Minnesota Statute 609.713, subdivision 1.<\/p>\n

The roster describes the allegation as threats of violence with reckless disregard for risk.<\/p>\n

State law covers threats to commit a crime of violence.<\/p>\n

It also covers reckless disregard for causing terror or serious public inconvenience.<\/p>\n

A conviction under that section can bring up to five years in prison.<\/p>\n

The maximum fine is $10,000.<\/p>\n

The jail entry does not describe the alleged threat.<\/p>\n

It also does not state where the reported incident occurred.<\/p>\n

Fifth-Degree Assault Allegation<\/h2>\n

The misdemeanor count cites Minnesota Statute 609.224, subdivision 1(1).<\/p>\n

That provision covers an act intended to cause fear of immediate bodily harm or death.<\/p>\n

The roster does not provide details about the alleged act.<\/p>\n

It also does not identify any alleged victim.<\/p>\n

No bond amount appears beside Nelson\u2019s entry on the county roster.<\/p>\n

Official Records May Change<\/h2>\n

Jail rosters provide a limited summary of custody information.<\/p>\n

They do not include every court filing, hearing, or ruling.<\/p>\n

The county states that its custody list<\/a> updates every two hours.<\/p>\n

Officials also warn that roster information may be incomplete or outdated.<\/p>\n

Readers can review the threats of violence law<\/a> through the Minnesota Revisor.<\/p>\n

The fifth-degree assault law<\/a> is also available online.<\/p>\n

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

The charges are allegations and do not establish guilt.<\/p>\n

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