Thief River Falls (trfnews.i234.me<\/a>)<\/strong> \u2014 Jason Brinkman was booked into the Pennington County Jail on August 24, 2026.<\/p>\n

The jail record lists Brinkman\u2019s status as \u201cHold.\u201d<\/p>\n

He faces one felony drug charge in District Court.<\/p>\n

The case number is 2026004200.<\/p>\n

The booking entry lists a bail or fine amount of $0.00.<\/p>\n

That entry does not explain possible release conditions.<\/p>\n

No court date was listed in the record provided.<\/p>\n

Felony Drug Sale Charge Listed<\/h2>\n

The charge is fifth-degree sale of a controlled substance.<\/p>\n

The charge falls under Minnesota Statute 152.025, subdivision 1.<\/p>\n

The jail description says the case involves a Schedule IV controlled substance mixture.<\/p>\n

The record does not identify the specific substance.<\/p>\n

Minnesota Statute 152.025<\/a> addresses Schedule IV controlled-substance sale crimes.<\/p>\n

Under the statute, a conviction can bring up to five years in prison.<\/p>\n

The law also allows a fine of up to $10,000.<\/p>\n

Those penalties are possible statutory maximums.<\/p>\n

Those penalties do not predict the outcome of Brinkman\u2019s case.<\/p>\n

The booking record does not provide details about the alleged sale.<\/p>\n

It does not list the location of the alleged offense.<\/p>\n

The record also does not describe evidence connected to the charge.<\/p>\n

More information may become available through future court filings.<\/p>\n

Brinkman Remains Listed on Hold<\/h2>\n

The custody record lists Brinkman at 5 feet, 8 inches tall.<\/p>\n

His listed weight is 150 pounds.<\/p>\n

The record lists brown hair and brown eyes.<\/p>\n

These details come from the jail booking entry.<\/p>\n

The Pennington County inmate search<\/a> provides public custody information.<\/p>\n

Jail records can change as a person moves through the court process.<\/p>\n

The Minnesota Judicial Branch<\/a> also provides access to public court records.<\/p>\n

Court filings may later include charging documents and hearing dates.<\/p>\n

A jail booking is not a finding of guilt.<\/p>\n

A criminal charge remains an allegation until resolved in court.<\/p>\n

Brinkman is entitled to the presumption of innocence.<\/p>\n

TRF News will follow public records for significant updates in the case.<\/p>\n
