CROOKSTON ( trfnews.i234.me<\/a> )<\/strong> \u2014 A Crookston man is facing multiple felony charges following a reported porch theft on Christmas Eve.<\/p>\n

Anthony J. Summers of Crookston has been charged with felony mail theft. He is also charged with felony failure to register as a predatory offender, according to court records.<\/p>\n

Porch theft reported on Christmas Eve<\/h2>\n

Court documents state the incident happened on Christmas Eve. A Crookston resident reported two packages stolen from their front porch.<\/p>\n

The victim told authorities the theft was captured on home security video. The footage reportedly showed a person taking the packages from the porch.<\/p>\n

The total value of the stolen items was listed at $348, according to the criminal complaint.<\/p>\n

Search leads to recovery of stolen items<\/h2>\n

Following the report, investigators developed information that led them to Summers. Court records say a search was later conducted at his residence.<\/p>\n

During the search, authorities reportedly found the stolen packages inside the home. The items matched those reported missing by the victim.<\/p>\n

Based on the evidence, Summers was arrested. Prosecutors later filed felony mail theft charges.<\/p>\n

An additional felony charge was filed<\/h2>\n

In addition to the theft charge, court documents say Summers is also charged with failure to register as a predatory offender.<\/p>\n

Summers is listed as a convicted sex offender. Minnesota law requires certain offenders to keep registration information current.<\/p>\n

Failure to meet those requirements can result in felony charges. That charge was added after a review of Summers\u2019 status, according to court records.<\/p>\n

What happens next<\/h2>\n

Summers is scheduled to make court appearances related to the charges. Conditions of release may be set by a judge.<\/p>\n

As with all criminal cases, the charges are allegations. Summers is presumed innocent unless proven guilty in court.<\/p>\n

Readers can learn more about Minnesota mail theft laws at the Minnesota Statutes website<\/a>. Information on predatory offender registration is available through the Minnesota Bureau of Criminal Apprehension.<\/p>\n
