The items reportedly belonged to Modern Concrete in Moorhead. Prosecutors say Stalboerger borrowed them but failed to return them.<\/p>\n
Charge Filed in Clay County<\/h2>\n
Prosecutors charged Stalboerger with felony theft under Minnesota law. The complaint cites Minnesota Statute 609.52<\/a>.<\/p>\n The law covers taking or keeping movable property without the owner\u2019s consent. The complaint alleges an intent to permanently deprive the owner.<\/p>\n The charge carries a possible sentence of up to 10 years. It also carries a possible fine of $20,000.<\/p>\n Those are the maximum penalties allowed by law. Any sentence would depend on the court and the case’s outcome.<\/p>\n According to the complaint, Stalboerger picked up concrete pouring items on September 17, 2025.<\/p>\n A Modern Concrete co-owner said the exchange followed a verbal loan agreement. The owners recalled a loan period of two weeks or one month.<\/p>\n The complaint says the equipment included several items used for concrete work. Many items had reportedly belonged to Modern Concrete since 2022.<\/p>\n The business reportedly received some equipment from another company. Modern Concrete also purchased the remaining items directly.<\/p>\n The next day, a co-owner said Stalboerger claimed an ownership interest. He allegedly said he would not return the equipment.<\/p>\n The complaint says investigators found no stated basis for that ownership claim. Authorities later contacted Stalboerger about the missing property.<\/p>\n He reportedly said he needed to handle several matters first. The filing says he gave no further explanation.<\/p>\n The alleged offense occurred between September 17 and October 18, 2025. The owners reported the matter on December 5, 2025.<\/p>\n The complaint states the equipment remained missing when charges were filed. No court ruling has determined ownership of the items.<\/p>\n The case was filed in Clay County District Court. The court file number is 14-CR-26-2012.<\/p>\n The charge is an allegation and does not prove guilt. Stalboerger is presumed innocent unless proven guilty in court.<\/p>\n Public case information may be available through the Minnesota Judicial Branch records portal<\/a>.<\/p>\n Some records may require an account or courthouse access. The complaint does not list a final case outcome.<\/p>\nEquipment Borrowed Under Verbal Agreement<\/h2>\n
