Fourth-Degree Assault Charge<\/h2>\n

Minnesota law includes several circumstances under its fourth-degree assault statute.<\/p>\n

The charge listed in Beckmann’s booking information references an alleged assault involving a peace officer.<\/p>\n

More information about the law is available under Minnesota Statutes Section 609.2231<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The booking information alone does not provide a complete account of the allegations.<\/p>\n

It also does not show how prosecutors may handle the case after review.<\/p>\n

Case Information May Change<\/h2>\n

A jail booking records a person’s entry into custody. It does not establish guilt.<\/p>\n

Beckmann is presumed innocent unless proven guilty through the court process.<\/p>\n

Charges can also change as a criminal case moves through the legal system.<\/p>\n
