Crookston: Troy Phillips Booked on Drug Charge<\/h2>\n

CROOKSTON, Minn.<\/strong> (trfnews.i234.me<\/a>) \u2014 Troy Allen Phillips was booked into the Polk County Jail on June 18, 2026.<\/p>\n

The jail entry lists a fifth-degree controlled substance possession charge.<\/p>\n

The entry also uses the phrase \u201cnot a small amount of marijuana.\u201d<\/p>\n

The listed offense cites Minnesota Statute 152.025, subdivision 2(a)(1).<\/p>\n

The jail record classifies the charge as a felony.<\/p>\n

Booking Information<\/h2>\n

Phillips was born on May 29, 1979.<\/p>\n

He was 47 years old on the listed booking date.<\/p>\n

The supplied record does not describe the events leading to the booking.<\/p>\n

It does not state where the alleged offense happened.<\/p>\n

The entry also provides no substantial amount of test information.<\/p>\n

No court file number, hearing date, or bail amount was included.<\/p>\n

Statute Wording Needs Context<\/h2>\n

The current text of Minnesota Statute 152.025 covers certain controlled substance possession cases.<\/p>\n

However, subdivision 2(a)(1) excludes cannabis flower and cannabis products.<\/p>\n

The jail entry still uses wording about marijuana and a small amount.<\/p>\n

The booking summary does not explain that difference.<\/p>\n

A criminal complaint may identify the substance and facts alleged.<\/p>\n

Readers can review Minnesota Statute 152.025<\/a> through the Revisor of Statutes.<\/p>\n

Charge Remains an Allegation<\/h2>\n

A jail booking is not proof of guilt.<\/p>\n

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

Prosecutors may change, reduce, or dismiss a charge after reviewing the evidence.<\/p>\n

A judge may also set release terms and future hearing dates.<\/p>\n

Official court records may provide more detail after a case is filed.<\/p>\n

The booking date may differ from the arrest date.<\/p>\n

The supplied entry does not address that issue.<\/p>\n

Public records can change as a case moves through court.<\/p>\n

County information is available through the Polk County Sheriff\u2019s Office<\/a>.<\/p>\n

TRF News will update this report when verified court details become available.<\/p>\n
