It describes the allegation as involving more than a small amount of marijuana.<\/p>\n<h2>Booking Information<\/h2>\n<p>The entry cites Minnesota Statute 152.025, subdivision 2(a)(1). The booking information lists the charge as a felony.<\/p>\n<p>Auginash was born on July 15, 1994. He was 31 years old on the listed booking date.<\/p>\n<p>The available entry provides only basic jail information. It does not describe the events that led to the booking.<\/p>\n<p><!-- Replace MUGSHOT-URL-HERE with the official mugshot image URL. --><\/p>\n<figure style=\"text-align: center; margin: 24px auto;\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" style=\"display: block; max-width: 100%; height: auto; margin: 0 auto;\" src=\"https:\/\/trfnews.i234.me\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/AUGINASH-BRUCE-JOHN-3.jpg\" alt=\"Bruce John Auginash booking photo\" \/><figcaption>Bruce John Auginash booking photo.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>No location for the alleged offense was included in the supplied record.

It includes exceptions for cannabis flower and cannabis products.<\/p>\n<p>The supplied booking entry uses separate wording about marijuana. A criminal complaint would clarify the formal allegation and legal basis.<\/p>\n<p>More local information is available through the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.polkcountymn.gov\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">official Polk County website<\/a>.<\/p>\n<h2>Charge Remains an Allegation<\/h2>\n<p>A jail booking is not proof of guilt. Auginash is presumed innocent unless proven guilty in court.<\/p>\n<p>Charges can change after prosecutors review reports and evidence. A court may also dismiss or reduce a charge.<\/p>\n<p>The wording in a jail entry may differ from a criminal complaint. The complaint normally contains the formal claims filed in court.<\/p>\n<p>TRF News will update this report when verified court information becomes available. Future updates should include hearing dates and case details.<\/p>\n<p>Public records can change after release, charging, or a court decision. Readers should check official sources for the latest information.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;m Chris Harper reporting for <a href=\"https:\/\/trfnews.i234.me\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>TRF News<\/strong><\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/article>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Bruce John Auginash was booked into the Polk County Jail on June 20, 2026, on a fifth-degree controlled substance possession charge.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":34592,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":"","_wpscp_schedule_draft_date":"","_wpscp_schedule_republish_date":"","_wpscppro_advance_schedule":false,"_wpscppro_advance_schedule_date":"","_wpscppro_dont_share_socialmedia":false,"_wpscppro_custom_social_share_image":0,"_facebook_share_type":"","_twitter_share_type":"","_linkedin_share_type":"","_pinterest_share_type":"","_linkedin_share_type_page":"","_instagram_share_type":"","_medium_share_type":"","_threads_share_type":"","_google_business_share_type":"","_selected_social_profile":[],"_wpsp_enable_custom_social_template":false,"_wpsp_social_scheduling":{"enabled":false,"datetime":null,"platforms":[],"status":"template_only","dateOption":"today","timeOption":"now","customDays":"","customHours":"","customDate":"","customTime":"","schedulingType":"absolute"},"_wpsp_active_default_template":true},"categories":[16518],"tags":[19581,17733,11763,848,892,1191,11819],"class_list":["post-34591","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-recently-booked","tag-auginash","tag-booked","tag-bruce","tag-charge","tag-crookston","tag-drug","tag-recently","entry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/trfnews.i234.me\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/34591","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/trfnews.i234.me\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/trfnews.i234.me\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/trfnews.i234.me\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/trfnews.i234.me\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=34591"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/trfnews.i234.me\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/34591\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":34593,"href":"https:\/\/trfnews.i234.me\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/34591\/revisions\/34593"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/trfnews.i234.me\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/34592"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/trfnews.i234.me\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=34591"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/trfnews.i234.me\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=34591"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/trfnews.i234.me\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=34591"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
