Fosston Man Charged in Alleged Death Threat<\/h2>\n

Fosston<\/strong> (trfnews.i234.me<\/a>) \u2014 A Polk County man faces a felony charge after an alleged threat in Fosston.<\/p>\n

Levi Joseph Miles, 24, of Erskine, is charged with threats of violence.<\/p>\n

The charge was filed in Minnesota\u2019s Ninth Judicial District Court in Polk County.<\/p>\n

Court records list the case as 60-CR-26-752.<\/p>\n

Alleged Threat Reported<\/h2>\n

The complaint says the incident happened on May 18, 2026.<\/p>\n

Police received a report about an assault at a Fosston residence.<\/p>\n

Miles was identified as the person who contacted dispatch, according to the complaint.<\/p>\n

An alleged victim then gave police information about another person connected to the incident.<\/p>\n

Police later spoke with that person at a different Fosston residence.<\/p>\n

That person told police Miles had visited the first residence.<\/p>\n

The person alleged Miles threatened to kill them while holding a large metal object.<\/p>\n

Another witness reportedly confirmed hearing the threat, the complaint states.<\/p>\n

The complaint does not say anyone was physically injured during the reported threat.<\/p>\n

Felony Charge Carries Prison Risk<\/h2>\n

Prosecutors charged Miles under Minnesota\u2019s threats-of-violence law.<\/p>\n

The law covers threats made to terrorize another person or cause serious public disruption.<\/p>\n

A conviction can bring up to five years in prison.<\/p>\n

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

The court document describes the charge as a felony.<\/p>\n

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

Case Remains Pending<\/h2>\n

The complaint also lists several earlier Minnesota convictions for Miles.<\/p>\n

Those include receiving stolen property and violating an order for protection in 2023.<\/p>\n

It also lists a 2025 disorderly conduct conviction.<\/p>\n

A fourth-degree burglary conviction is listed from January 2026.<\/p>\n

Those past cases do not decide the outcome of the new charge.<\/p>\n

The current allegation must be proven in court.<\/p>\n

A criminal complaint presents the prosecution\u2019s claims and probable cause.<\/p>\n

It is not proof of guilt.<\/p>\n

Miles is presumed innocent unless proven guilty beyond a reasonable doubt.<\/p>\n
