THIEF RIVER FALLS<\/strong> (trfnews.i234.me<\/a>) \u2014 Jessica Maunz was booked into the Pennington County Jail on June 25, 2026.<\/p>\n

The jail record lists Maunz on a hold connected to one felony charge.<\/p>\n

The charge alleges that methamphetamine paraphernalia was stored where a child or vulnerable adult could be present.<\/p>\n

The case is listed for the District Court under case number 26002969.<\/p>\n

The law also covers locations connected to vulnerable adults.<\/p>\n

It also does not identify any child or vulnerable adult.<\/p>\n
