Carlton County Man Listed on Felony Harassment Charge<\/h2>\n

Carlton County (trfnews.i234.me<\/a>)<\/strong> \u2014 Matthew Shane Harris is listed on a felony harassment charge in Minnesota.<\/p>\n

The supplied record identifies Harris as a Minnesota Department of Corrections inmate.<\/p>\n

The charge is listed under Minnesota Statute 609.749, subdivision 4(b).<\/p>\n

The booking description lists the offense as a third or subsequent harassment violation within ten years.<\/p>\n

Felony Harassment Charge<\/h2>\n

Minnesota Statute 609.749<\/a> covers harassment, stalking, and related penalties.<\/p>\n

Subdivision 4 deals with second or subsequent harassment violations.<\/p>\n

Subdivision 4(b) applies when specific prior conviction requirements are met.<\/p>\n

The law requires two or more prior qualified domestic violence-related convictions or delinquency adjudications.<\/p>\n

The new violation must occur within ten years of the first qualifying prior offense.<\/p>\n

A violation under subdivision 4(b) is classified as a felony.<\/p>\n

The maximum penalty can reach ten years in prison.<\/p>\n

The law also allows a fine of up to $20,000.<\/p>\n

Actual sentences depend on the facts, criminal history, and Minnesota sentencing rules.<\/p>\n

Carlton County Case Filed<\/h2>\n

A matching Carlton County court case was filed on January 2, 2026.<\/p>\n

The case lists Harris on a harassment allegation matching the supplied charge.<\/p>\n

A public court-record index says the reported events date to December 19, 2025.<\/p>\n

The available summary references alleged telephone calls and text messages.<\/p>\n

No police officer names are included in this report.<\/p>\n

More information about the indexed case is available through MN Crime’s Carlton County case page<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Details Remain Limited<\/h2>\n

The booking information supplied does not identify an alleged victim.<\/p>\n

It also does not provide a complete probable cause statement.<\/p>\n

The supplied record does not list a new bond amount or sentencing information.<\/p>\n

Those details may appear in official court records as the case moves forward.<\/p>\n

A corrections listing or criminal charge does not establish guilt.<\/p>\n

The allegations must be resolved through the court process.<\/p>\n

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