Crookston: Patrick Richardson Booked on Assault Charge<\/h2>\n

CROOKSTON, Minn.<\/strong> (trfnews.i234.me<\/a>) \u2014 Patrick Lee Richardson was booked into the Polk County Jail on June 20, 2026.<\/p>\n

The jail entry lists a gross misdemeanor domestic assault charge. It describes the charge as a subsequent violation.<\/p>\n

The entry cites Minnesota Statute 609.2242, subdivision 2. Richardson was born on March 11, 1954.<\/p>\n

He was 72 years old on the booking date.<\/p>\n

Limited Details Released<\/h2>\n

The supplied booking record contains limited information. It does not describe the reported incident or identify another person.<\/p>\n

It also does not list a court file number. No hearing date, bail amount, or release conditions were provided.<\/p>\n

The record does not say where the reported incident happened. It also does not provide the date of the alleged conduct.<\/p>\n

What the Cited Law Says<\/h2>\n

Minnesota law classifies certain repeat domestic assault violations as gross misdemeanors.<\/p>\n

The cited section concerns offenses following a previous qualifying domestic violence-related conviction or delinquency adjudication.<\/p>\n

The statute includes a ten-year review period. However, the booking entry does not identify any earlier case.<\/p>\n

A criminal complaint may provide more details. It may explain the alleged conduct and the reason for the charge level.<\/p>\n

The complaint may also list the location and date of the reported incident. Those details were not included here.<\/p>\n

Readers can review Minnesota Statute 609.2242<\/a> through the Minnesota Revisor of Statutes.<\/p>\n

Charge Remains an Allegation<\/h2>\n

A jail booking records a person\u2019s entry into custody. It does not prove guilt or establish the case facts.<\/p>\n

Richardson is presumed innocent unless proven guilty in court. Prosecutors may amend, reduce, or dismiss charges after further review.<\/p>\n

A judge may set release terms and future hearing dates. Court schedules can also change without notice.<\/p>\n

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

Public records may change as the case moves forward. Official court records should be checked for the latest information.<\/p>\n

TRF News will update this report when verified court information becomes available. Any update will clearly note charge changes.<\/p>\n
