Crookston: Renee Veselka Booked on Felony Drug Charge<\/h2>\n

Crookston (trfnews.i234.me<\/a>)<\/strong> \u2014 Renee Cecilia Veselka, 47, was booked into custody on September 12, 2026.<\/p>\n

The jail roster lists Veselka on a felony third-degree controlled substance possession charge.<\/p>\n

Her date of birth is listed as December 28, 1978.<\/p>\n

The charge involves alleged drug possession within a protected area under Minnesota law.<\/p>\n

Third-Degree Drug Charge Listed<\/h2>\n

The booking record cites Minnesota Statute 152.023, subdivision 2(a)(4).<\/p>\n

The law covers possession of certain controlled substances within specific protected zones.<\/p>\n

Those locations include school zones, park zones, public housing zones, and drug treatment facilities.<\/p>\n

The statute covers any amount of certain Schedule I or II narcotic drugs.<\/p>\n

It also covers five or more dosage units of LSD, MDA, or MDMA.<\/p>\n

The jail entry does not identify which substance Veselka allegedly possessed.<\/p>\n

It also does not identify the protected zone connected to the allegation.<\/p>\n

Third-degree controlled substance crimes under this provision are felonies.<\/p>\n

State law allows a maximum sentence of 20 years imprisonment.<\/p>\n

The statute also allows a fine up to $250,000, or both penalties.<\/p>\n

Booked at Crookston Facility<\/h2>\n

Veselka was listed through the Northwest Regional Corrections Center in Crookston.<\/p>\n

The regional jail is located at 816 Marin Avenue.<\/p>\n

The facility serves Polk, Norman, and Red Lake counties.<\/p>\n

More information is available through the Northwest Regional Corrections Center<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The supplied booking information does not describe the events leading to Veselka’s arrest.<\/p>\n

It does not state where the alleged offense occurred.<\/p>\n

The record also does not provide an alleged drug amount.<\/p>\n

No court file number, bail amount, or release date was included.<\/p>\n

Charge Remains an Allegation<\/h2>\n

A jail booking records custody information and does not establish guilt.<\/p>\n

The charge against Veselka remains an allegation unless proven or otherwise resolved in court.<\/p>\n

Future court records may provide additional details about the case.<\/p>\n

Those records could identify the alleged substance, location, and circumstances surrounding the charge.<\/p>\n

They may also include bail information and future hearing dates.<\/p>\n
