Polk County Man Booked on Domestic Assault Charge<\/h2>\n

Polk County<\/strong> (trfnews.i234.me<\/a>) \u2014 Randy Lee Bellanger Jr. was booked into the Polk County Jail on August 18, 2026.<\/p>\n

The booking record lists one misdemeanor domestic assault charge against Bellanger.<\/p>\n

The listed allegation involves intentionally inflicting or attempting to inflict bodily harm on another person.<\/p>\n

The charge is listed under Minnesota Statute 609.2242, subdivision 1(2).<\/p>\n

Domestic Assault Charge Listed<\/h2>\n

Under Minnesota law<\/a>, subdivision 1 covers misdemeanor domestic assault.<\/p>\n

The law applies when the alleged victim is a family or household member.<\/p>\n

One part covers intentionally causing or attempting to cause bodily harm.<\/p>\n

The Polk County booking information lists Bellanger under that section.<\/p>\n

The available booking entry does not provide details about the alleged incident.<\/p>\n

It also does not describe any injuries or circumstances surrounding the reported offense.<\/p>\n

Booked August 18<\/h2>\n

The jail entry lists Bellanger’s booking date as August 18, 2026.<\/p>\n

The information provided does not list a release date.<\/p>\n

No additional charges were included in the booking information supplied for this report.<\/p>\n

The Polk County Sheriff’s Office<\/a> oversees county law enforcement services.<\/p>\n

Public jail records generally document booking information and pending allegations.<\/p>\n

A booking does not establish that a person committed the alleged offense.<\/p>\n

Criminal charges are accusations unless proven through the court process.<\/p>\n

Case Information<\/h2>\n

The reported charge is a misdemeanor rather than a felony offense.<\/p>\n

Minnesota’s domestic assault statute contains separate misdemeanor, gross misdemeanor, and felony provisions.<\/p>\n

The exact level depends on the charged conduct and other factors.<\/p>\n

This report reflects only the booking information available for Bellanger.<\/p>\n

Further court filings may provide additional information about the case.<\/p>\n

TRF News will report significant developments when confirmed information becomes available.<\/p>\n
