Crookston Man Booked on Felony Firearm Charge<\/h2>\n

CROOKSTON<\/strong> (trfnews.i234.me<\/a>) \u2014 Roger Dale Cooper was booked into the Polk County Jail on June 25, 2026.<\/p>\n

The booking record lists one felony firearm charge against Cooper.<\/p>\n

The charge alleges Cooper possessed a pistol or semiautomatic military-style assault weapon while legally barred from possession.<\/p>\n

The record cites Minnesota Statute 624.713, subdivision 1(2).<\/p>\n

Cooper was born on March 28, 1964, according to the supplied booking information.<\/p>\n

He was 62 years old at the time of booking.<\/p>\n

Details Remain Limited<\/h2>\n

The short jail entry does not identify the firearm involved.<\/p>\n

It also does not explain where the alleged possession occurred.<\/p>\n

No police officer names were included in the information supplied for this report.<\/p>\n

The available information does not list a court date, bail amount, or release date.<\/p>\n

Those details may appear later in public court records.<\/p>\n

What Minnesota Law Says<\/h2>\n

Minnesota law<\/a> restricts firearm possession for certain people with qualifying crime-of-violence convictions.<\/p>\n

The restriction can also apply after certain juvenile court adjudications.<\/p>\n

The filed allegation cites the section covering that legal restriction.<\/p>\n

Under the statute, a conviction can bring up to 15 years in prison.<\/p>\n

The law also allows a fine of up to $30,000.<\/p>\n

Those are maximum penalties and do not predict the outcome of this case.<\/p>\n

A sentence would depend on the evidence, court rulings, and Cooper\u2019s criminal history.<\/p>\n

The supplied record does not identify the earlier case referenced by the charge.<\/p>\n

It also does not state whether Cooper\u2019s firearm rights were ever restored.<\/p>\n

Court and Jail Information<\/h2>\n

The Polk County Sheriff\u2019s Office<\/a> is based in Crookston.<\/p>\n

Polk County District Court<\/a> is located at the Polk County Justice Center.<\/p>\n

Public information may appear through Minnesota Court Records Online<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Jail and court records can change after hearings or new filings.<\/p>\n

Readers should check official sources for the latest case information.<\/p>\n

Presumption of Innocence<\/h2>\n

A booking record documents custody and a listed allegation.<\/p>\n

It does not establish guilt or prove that a crime occurred.<\/p>\n

Cooper is presumed innocent unless the charge is proven beyond a reasonable doubt.<\/p>\n
