It also requires that a death results from the incident.<\/p>\n

The first-degree provision applies when one of the people is armed with a dangerous weapon.<\/p>\n

Readers can review Minnesota Statute 609.71<\/a> through the Minnesota Revisor of Statutes.<\/p>\n

The statute allows a maximum prison sentence of 20 years after a conviction.<\/p>\n

It also allows a fine of up to $35,000 after a conviction.<\/p>\n

Those are maximum penalties set by law and are not a prediction of any sentence.<\/p>\n

Jail record gives limited case details<\/h2>\n

The supplied custody record lists District Court as the court branch.<\/p>\n

No court date was displayed in the information provided.<\/p>\n

The jail listing showed a bail or fine amount of $0.00.<\/p>\n

That figure reflects the custody record and may change through later court action.<\/p>\n

The booking information does not describe the underlying incident.<\/p>\n

It also does not identify the person who died or describe the alleged weapon.<\/p>\n

No other charges were listed in the information provided for this booking.<\/p>\n

Pennington County custody<\/h2>\n

Pennington County Corrections is located at 102 1st Street West in Thief River Falls.<\/p>\n

More information is available from the Pennington County Sheriff’s Office corrections page<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Custody status, court dates, bail conditions, and charges can change as a case moves forward.<\/p>\n

A criminal charge is an accusation and does not establish guilt.<\/p>\n

Boswell is presumed innocent unless proven guilty in court.<\/p>\n
