Fergus Falls Man Held in Out-of-State Fugitive Case<\/h2>\n

FERGUS FALLS<\/strong> (trfnews.i234.me<\/a>) \u2014 Brian Steven Pearson, 52, remains listed at the Otter Tail County Jail.<\/p>\n

The county roster shows Pearson was booked on June 17, 2026.<\/p>\n

His booking number is 002600000535.<\/p>\n

The roster lists one active entry under Minnesota Statute 629.13.<\/p>\n

It labels the matter \u201cFugitive from Justice from Another State.\u201d<\/p>\n

The public entry does not name the other state.<\/p>\n

It also does not identify the underlying charge or court.<\/p>\n

What Minnesota Law Says<\/h2>\n

Minnesota Statute 629.13 addresses people accused of crimes in other states.<\/p>\n

It can also cover people who allegedly escaped custody.<\/p>\n

The statute may apply after alleged violations of bail, probation, or parole.<\/p>\n

A Minnesota judge may issue a warrant after receiving a qualifying complaint.<\/p>\n

The warrant directs an officer to apprehend the named person.<\/p>\n

The person must then appear before an available judge.<\/p>\n

The jail roster does not explain which provision applies to Pearson.<\/p>\n

It provides only the listed fugitive status.<\/p>\n

No Bond Amount Listed<\/h2>\n

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

That does not confirm whether the release is unavailable.<\/p>\n

A judge may address custody during an extradition proceeding.<\/p>\n

The court orders control any release terms or transfer decisions.<\/p>\n

The Minnesota Judicial Branch publishes an Extradition Statement of Rights<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The form describes rights for people facing extradition proceedings.<\/p>\n

Extradition commonly involves a request from another state.<\/p>\n

However, the roster does not confirm whether such a request was filed.<\/p>\n

Limited Public Details<\/h2>\n

Jail rosters provide brief custody information.<\/p>\n

They do not contain every warrant, complaint, hearing, or court order.<\/p>\n

The roster does not state where Pearson was arrested.<\/p>\n

It also provides no details about the alleged out-of-state case.<\/p>\n

Readers can check the official Otter Tail County custody list<\/a> for updates.<\/p>\n

The county warns that online information may change or be incomplete.<\/p>\n

Readers can review Minnesota Statute 629.13<\/a> through the state Revisor.<\/p>\n

The listed status is not a Minnesota conviction.<\/p>\n

It also does not prove the underlying out-of-state allegation.<\/p>\n

Pearson is entitled to due process.<\/p>\n

Any criminal allegation remains unproven unless established in court.<\/p>\n
