Fergus Falls Man Booked in Firearm Possession Case<\/h2>\n

FERGUS FALLS<\/strong> (trfnews.i234.me<\/a>) \u2014 Kelsey Mclane Nelson was booked into the Otter Tail County Jail on June 25, 2026.<\/p>\n

Nelson, 38, was listed in connection with a felony firearm possession offense.<\/p>\n

The jail record lists case number 002600000561.<\/p>\n

It also labels Nelson\u2019s custody status as \u201cServed Sentence.\u201d<\/p>\n

The brief record does not explain the sentence or provide the original offense date.<\/p>\n

Firearm Offense Listed<\/h2>\n

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

That provision restricts firearm and ammunition possession by people under 18.<\/p>\n

The restriction covers ammunition, pistols, and semiautomatic military-style assault weapons.<\/p>\n

State law provides several exceptions for supervised or approved activities.<\/p>\n

Those exceptions can include military drills, approved shooting ranges, and safety training.<\/p>\n

The jail record does not identify the weapon or ammunition involved.<\/p>\n

It also does not state where or when the underlying conduct occurred.<\/p>\n

Age Difference Not Explained<\/h2>\n

The current jail entry lists Nelson as 38 years old.<\/p>\n

However, the cited offense applies to possession by someone under 18.<\/p>\n

The supplied record does not explain that difference.<\/p>\n

It may relate to an older case, but the record provides no confirmation.<\/p>\n

The entry also does not include a conviction date or sentencing details.<\/p>\n

Readers should not assume the underlying conduct happened during the current booking period.<\/p>\n

Penalty Under Minnesota Law<\/h2>\n

Minnesota Statute 624.713<\/a> classifies the cited offense as a felony.<\/p>\n

The statute allows a sentence of up to five years in prison.<\/p>\n

It also allows a fine of up to $10,000.<\/p>\n

A court may impose imprisonment, a fine, or both.<\/p>\n

Those are statutory maximums and do not describe Nelson\u2019s actual sentence.<\/p>\n

The jail record only states that the sentence status was served.<\/p>\n
