Thief River Falls Man Faces DWI, Assault Charges<\/h2>\n

Thief River Falls<\/strong> (trfnews.i234.me<\/a>) \u2014 Marqus Middleton was booked into the Pennington County Jail on several alleged offenses.<\/p>\n

The jail roster lists his custody date as August 1, 2026. His status is listed as a hold.<\/p>\n

The roster shows no bail or fine amount. It also does not list a court date.<\/p>\n

Middleton is listed as six feet tall and 160 pounds. The roster lists brown eyes and a bald hairstyle.<\/p>\n

Seven Charges Listed<\/h2>\n

The booking record lists seven charges under case number 26003769. Four are listed as gross misdemeanors.<\/p>\n

The first alleges fourth-degree assault against a peace officer. The description says the charge involves physical assault.<\/p>\n

A second charge alleges driving while impaired by alcohol. Another alleges refusal to provide a blood or urine sample.<\/p>\n

The test refusal charge refers to testing required by a search warrant. The roster provides no further incident details.<\/p>\n

Middleton also faces an allegation involving a disrupted 911 call. That charge is listed as a gross misdemeanor.<\/p>\n

The record does not explain how the emergency call was allegedly interrupted. It also names no caller or alleged victim.<\/p>\n

Traffic Allegations Also Filed<\/h2>\n

Three additional charges involve traffic and vehicle rules. One alleges failure to later provide proof of insurance.<\/p>\n

Another alleges operation of an unregistered vehicle or a vehicle without plates. That offense is listed as a petty misdemeanor.<\/p>\n

The final charge alleges driving after suspension. The jail roster lists that offense as a petty misdemeanor.<\/p>\n

The booking information does not describe the traffic stop. It does not identify the vehicle or reported location.<\/p>\n

Court Information Pending<\/h2>\n

The court branch is listed as District Court. However, no hearing date appears in the supplied record.<\/p>\n

Custody details may change after court hearings. Readers can check the Pennington County inmate locator<\/a> for updates.<\/p>\n

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

A jail booking does not establish guilt. Every listed charge remains an allegation unless proven in court.<\/p>\n

Middleton is presumed innocent. The final outcome will depend on evidence, court filings, and judicial rulings.<\/p>\n
