Fergus Falls: Demontae Brooks Serving Theft Sentence<\/h2>\n

Fergus Falls<\/strong> (trfnews.i234.me<\/a>) \u2014 Demontae Corvel Brooks was booked into the Otter Tail County Jail on August 20, 2026.<\/p>\n

Brooks is listed as 26 years old in the public custody information.<\/p>\n

The jail record identifies his status as sentenced.<\/p>\n

The listed offense is felony theft involving a motor vehicle.<\/p>\n

The record cites Minnesota Statute 609.52, subdivision 2(a)(17).<\/p>\n

Motor Vehicle Theft Case<\/h2>\n

The cited law covers taking or driving a motor vehicle without the owner’s consent.<\/p>\n

The law also applies when an authorized agent did not provide consent.<\/p>\n

A person must know, or have reason to know, that permission was not given.<\/p>\n

The custody record describes the offense as taking or driving a vehicle without owner consent.<\/p>\n

Because Brooks is listed as sentenced, this is not described as a new pending allegation.<\/p>\n

The jail information does not describe the vehicle involved in the original case.<\/p>\n

It also does not explain where or when the underlying theft occurred.<\/p>\n

Minnesota Law Sets Felony Penalty<\/h2>\n

Minnesota law provides a felony-level penalty when the stolen property is a motor vehicle.<\/p>\n

The law allows imprisonment for up to five years under that provision.<\/p>\n

A fine of up to $10,000 may also apply under state law.<\/p>\n

The public jail entry does not state the sentence imposed in Brooks’ case.<\/p>\n

It only identifies the offense as a felony and his current status as sentenced.<\/p>\n

Otter Tail County Jail Booking<\/h2>\n

The Otter Tail County Jail is located at 416 South Mill Street in Fergus Falls.<\/p>\n

The county says the facility houses both sentenced and unsentenced prisoners.<\/p>\n

Custody information can change as sentences are served or jail status changes.<\/p>\n
