Cass Lake Man Booked on Third-Degree Assault<\/h2>\n

CASS LAKE<\/strong> (trfnews.i234.me<\/a>) \u2014 Frank Wakonabo, 32, was booked into the Cass County Jail on Tuesday, June 30, 2026.<\/p>\n

The booking time was listed as 6:52 p.m. Wakonabo is from Cass Lake, Minnesota.<\/p>\n

The jail entry lists one third-degree assault charge. The cited offense is Minnesota Statute 609.223, subdivision 1.<\/p>\n

Charge Involves Substantial Bodily Harm<\/h2>\n

The statute covers an assault that allegedly causes substantial bodily harm.<\/p>\n

Minnesota law defines that term through several types of injury. Those can include a temporary but substantial disfigurement.<\/p>\n

The definition also covers certain fractures. It can include a temporary loss or impairment of bodily function.<\/p>\n

A conviction under this section can carry up to five years in prison. It can also bring a fine of up to $10,000.<\/p>\n

The listed charge does not explain how the alleged injury occurred. It also does not identify any reported weapon.<\/p>\n

Few Case Details Released<\/h2>\n

The booking information does not describe the reported incident. It does not list an alleged victim or incident location.<\/p>\n

No court file number was included in the booking information provided to TRF News.<\/p>\n

The entry also does not list a court date. Bond details were not included in the supplied booking record.<\/p>\n

Readers can review the Minnesota third-degree assault statute<\/a> for the legal wording.<\/p>\n

The Cass County Detention Center<\/a> posts jail information and an in-custody report.<\/p>\n

The county jail holds people awaiting court action. It also houses some people serving shorter sentences.<\/p>\n

Booking information can change after a first court appearance. Prosecutors may amend, add, or dismiss charges.<\/p>\n

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

Charge Remains an Allegation<\/h2>\n

A jail booking does not prove guilt. Wakonabo is presumed innocent unless proven guilty in court.<\/p>\n

The charge remains an allegation unless a judge or jury reaches a guilty finding.<\/p>\n

Court records provide the most current case status. Jail records only show the booking information available at publication.<\/p>\n
