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

CROOKSTON<\/strong> (trfnews.i234.me<\/a>) \u2014 Charles Thomas Ortley was booked on June 28, 2026.<\/p>\n

The provided jail record lists a felony first-degree property damage charge.<\/p>\n

Ortley was 36 years old when the booking was recorded.<\/p>\n

The allegation says the property value fell by more than $500.<\/p>\n

The record also cites a prior qualifying conviction within three years.<\/p>\n

Charge Listed in Booking Record<\/h2>\n

The booking entry cites Minnesota Statute 609.595, subdivision 1(4).<\/p>\n

However, the current published statute uses different clause numbering.<\/p>\n

The described $500 threshold with a recent prior conviction appears in clause five.<\/p>\n

Clause four now covers property damage exceeding $1,000.<\/p>\n

Official court documents should confirm the exact charge and citation.<\/p>\n

The booking summary does not identify the damaged property.<\/p>\n

It also does not provide an incident location or estimated repair cost.<\/p>\n

No alleged victim was named in the information provided.<\/p>\n

The record did not include bond, release, or hearing details.<\/p>\n

What Minnesota Law Says<\/h2>\n

Minnesota law covers intentional damage to another person\u2019s property without consent.<\/p>\n

First-degree property damage is classified as a felony.<\/p>\n

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

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

Those penalties are statutory maximums, not a prediction for this case.<\/p>\n

Any sentence would depend on the evidence and court findings.<\/p>\n

Readers can review Minnesota Statute 609.595<\/a>.<\/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 accused committed a crime.<\/p>\n

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

Prosecutors must support any filed charge with admissible evidence.<\/p>\n

A judge may later decide bail, release terms, and hearing dates.<\/p>\n

The available booking information does not show a final outcome.<\/p>\n
