Crookston Books Cartagena-Hernandez on Assault Charge<\/h2>\n

CROOKSTON<\/strong> (trfnews.i234.me<\/a>) \u2014 Wilber Arnulfo Cartagena-Hernandez was booked into the Northwest Regional Corrections Center on July 26, 2026.<\/p>\n

The jail entry lists a felony second-degree assault charge.<\/p>\n

The charge involves an alleged dangerous weapon and substantial bodily harm.<\/p>\n

Cartagena-Hernandez was 35 when he entered custody.<\/p>\n

His listed birth date is August 7, 1990.<\/p>\n

Booking Follows Reported Hotel Assault<\/h2>\n

Local reporting says the case followed an alleged attack at a Crookston hotel.<\/p>\n

Prosecutors allege several workers attacked a coworker using rocks.<\/p>\n

Cartagena-Hernandez was one of three men charged in the reported case.<\/p>\n

Juan Jose Erazo Herrera and Juan Carlos Alberto-Serrano were also named.<\/p>\n

The allegations have not been proven in court.<\/p>\n

The available booking entry gives few details about the incident.<\/p>\n

Minnesota Law Explains Charge<\/h2>\n

The booking cites Minnesota Statute 609.222, subdivision 2.<\/p>\n

That law covers second-degree assault involving a dangerous weapon.<\/p>\n

The subdivision also requires an allegation of substantial bodily harm.<\/p>\n

A conviction can bring up to 10 years in prison.<\/p>\n

The law also allows a fine reaching $20,000.<\/p>\n

Those are maximum penalties, not automatic sentences.<\/p>\n

Readers can review the full law through the Minnesota Revisor of Statutes<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Any sentence would depend on a conviction and court findings.<\/p>\n

A judge would consider Minnesota law and the case facts.<\/p>\n

Case Information Remains Public<\/h2>\n

The Northwest Regional Corrections Center operates in Crookston.<\/p>\n

The facility provides an online inmate roster for public viewing.<\/p>\n

Readers can review the official corrections center website<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Jail rosters are administrative records.<\/p>\n

They may change after hearings, releases, or court updates.<\/p>\n

Readers can also search Minnesota Court Records Online<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The service provides access to certain public case details and documents.<\/p>\n

Some records may not appear online.<\/p>\n

Official court files remain the controlling source for case information.<\/p>\n

Booking Does Not Establish Guilt<\/h2>\n

A jail booking does not prove that a crime occurred.<\/p>\n

A criminal charge is only an accusation.<\/p>\n

Cartagena-Hernandez is presumed innocent unless proven guilty.<\/p>\n

The court process will determine whether the charge is supported.<\/p>\n

TRF News will update this report when reliable court records provide more details.<\/p>\n
