Thief River Falls Man Cited After Fight Report<\/h2>\n

Thief River Falls (trfnews.i234.me<\/a>)<\/strong> \u2014 A local man was cited after police received a report about an alleged fight.<\/p>\n

The call came at 6:49 p.m. on July 11. Officers were sent to 323 Atlantic Ave.<\/p>\n

A caller reported that people living upstairs were allegedly fighting. Police later cited Chance Demontra Gatson, 26, of Thief River Falls.<\/p>\n

Gatson was cited for disorderly conduct. The citation summary did not describe any injuries or property damage.<\/p>\n

Police Respond to Atlantic Avenue<\/h2>\n

The report began as a complaint about disorderly conduct. Police responded to the address after receiving the neighbor\u2019s report.<\/p>\n

The public summary did not explain what officers found when they arrived. It also did not identify any other person involved.<\/p>\n

Disorderly Conduct Citation<\/h2>\n

Under Minnesota Statute 609.72<\/a>, disorderly conduct can include fighting or disruptive behavior.<\/p>\n

The law also covers certain loud, abusive, or offensive conduct. Such conduct must tend to alarm, anger, or disturb others.<\/p>\n

Disorderly conduct is generally treated as a misdemeanor under Minnesota law. Each case depends on its own facts.<\/p>\n

A citation is not a finding of guilt. Gatson is presumed innocent unless proven guilty in court.<\/p>\n

Future court records may provide more details about the allegation. No court date was included in the information provided.<\/p>\n

Few Details Released<\/h2>\n

The available report offered only a short account of the incident. It did not explain how long the alleged disturbance lasted.<\/p>\n

It also did not say whether the reported fight continued after police arrived. No other names appeared in the summary.<\/p>\n

Police reports often provide an early account of an incident. Additional facts may become available through later public records.<\/p>\n

TRF News will report further details if new information becomes available.<\/p>\n
