The law covers direct and indirect threats of violent crimes.<\/p>\n<p>The statute also covers threats made with reckless disregard. The risk must involve causing terror or serious public inconvenience.<\/p>\n<p>A conviction under this section can bring up to five years in prison. It can also bring a fine up to $10,000.<\/p>\n<p>Readers can review the complete law through the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.revisor.mn.gov\/statutes\/cite\/609.713\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Minnesota Revisor of Statutes<\/a>.<\/p>\n<figure style=\"text-align: center; margin: 25px auto;\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" style=\"display: block; max-width: 100%; height: auto; margin: 0 auto;\" src=\"https:\/\/trfnews.i234.me\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/Buckanaga-Giniw-Joseph.png\" alt=\"Giniw Joseph Buckanaga booking photo\" \/><figcaption style=\"margin-top: 8px;\">Giniw Joseph Buckanaga booking photo.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h2>Few Incident Details Available<\/h2>\n<p>The provided booking entry does not describe the alleged threat.

It does not list any injuries or property damage.<\/p>\n<p>No court file number was included with the information. Bail terms and hearing dates were also not provided.<\/p>\n<p>Those details may become available through future court filings. Prosecutors must decide whether formal charges will move forward.<\/p>\n<h2>Booking Is Not a Conviction<\/h2>\n<p>A jail booking records an arrest and intake. It does not prove that the accused committed a crime.<\/p>\n<p>Buckanaga is presumed innocent unless proven guilty in court. The state carries the burden of proving any filed charge.<\/p>\n<p>The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.casscountymn.gov\/1321\/Detention-Center-Jail\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Cass County Detention Center<\/a> publishes information about the jail and its services.<\/p>\n<p>Custody status and court information can change after booking.
