Crookston: Kelsey Wastweet Booked on Check Charge<\/h2>\n

CROOKSTON, Minn.<\/strong> (trfnews.i234.me<\/a>) \u2014 Kelsey Rae Wastweet was booked into the Polk County Jail on June 19, 2026.<\/p>\n

The jail entry lists a felony allegation involving the issuance of a dishonored check.<\/p>\n

The record cites Minnesota Statute 609.535, subdivision 2.<\/p>\n

Wastweet was born on May 12, 1990.<\/p>\n

She was 36 years old on the listed booking date.<\/p>\n

Booking Record Provides Limited Details<\/h2>\n

The supplied booking entry contains only basic information.<\/p>\n

It does not list the check amount or identify the reported recipient.<\/p>\n

The record also does not state when the check was allegedly issued.<\/p>\n

No business, financial institution, or other party was named.<\/p>\n

The entry does not provide a court file number.<\/p>\n

It also does not list bail, release terms, or a hearing date.<\/p>\n

A booking date can differ from an arrest date or offense date.<\/p>\n

The supplied record does not explain whether those dates were different.<\/p>\n

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

Minnesota Statute 609.535 addresses the issuance of dishonored checks.<\/p>\n

Subdivision 2 concerns a check allegedly issued with intent that it not be paid.<\/p>\n

The law allows a court to order restitution after a conviction.<\/p>\n

Penalty levels can depend on the value involved.<\/p>\n

However, the supplied jail entry does not list any dollar amount.<\/p>\n

A criminal complaint may provide more details about the allegation.<\/p>\n

Court records may also identify the check amount and reported recipient.<\/p>\n

Readers can review Minnesota Statute 609.535<\/a> through the Minnesota Revisor of Statutes.<\/p>\n

Booking Does Not Establish Guilt<\/h2>\n

A jail booking records a person\u2019s entry into custody.<\/p>\n

It does not prove that the person committed an offense.<\/p>\n

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

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

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

Those details can change as a case moves through court.<\/p>\n

The Polk County Sheriff\u2019s Office<\/a> provides county law enforcement information.<\/p>\n

Official court records should be checked for the latest case details.<\/p>\n

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