Minnesota Law Covers Alleged Bodily Harm<\/h2>\n

Minnesota law addresses fourth-degree assault involving peace officers under the cited statute.<\/p>\n

The section covers an alleged physical assault causing demonstrable bodily harm to an officer.<\/p>\n

The law classifies that allegation as a felony. A conviction can carry up to three years in prison.<\/p>\n

A court may also impose a fine of up to $6,000. Any sentence depends on the case facts.<\/p>\n

Readers can review Minnesota Statute 609.2231<\/a> through the state Revisor\u2019s Office.<\/p>\n

A jail booking is not proof of guilt. Prosecutors must decide whether formal charges are supported by evidence.<\/p>\n

Custody and Court Information<\/h2>\n

The Otter Tail County custody list<\/a> provides public jail information.<\/p>\n

The county states that its online list updates every two hours. Custody status can change after court action.<\/p>\n

Readers should check the county roster for the latest available information.<\/p>\n

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

The service provides access to many public district court records. Some documents may be delayed or restricted.<\/p>\n

The initial allegation may also change after prosecutors review reports and other evidence.<\/p>\n

Skinner will have an opportunity to respond to any charge filed in court.<\/p>\n

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