It describes alleged possession of ammunition or a firearm by an ineligible person.<\/p>\n<p>The record says the restriction involves a prior crime-of-violence conviction or juvenile adjudication. It does not provide details about that earlier case.<\/p>\n<p>Readers can review the law through the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.revisor.mn.gov\/statutes\/cite\/624.713\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Minnesota Revisor of Statutes<\/a>. The official law explains who may be barred from possessing firearms or ammunition.<\/p>\n<p>The cited section covers some people with crime-of-violence convictions or juvenile findings. It restricts firearm and ammunition possession in qualifying cases.<\/p>\n<p>The booking record classifies the new allegation as a felony.
