Polk County: David Engelbert Booked on Threats Charge<\/h2>\n

Polk County<\/strong> (trfnews.i234.me<\/a>) \u2013 David Richard Engelbert, 37, was booked on October 8, 2026.<\/p>\n

The Polk County Jail entry lists a felony threats allegation under Minnesota Statute 609.713, subdivision 3(a)(1).<\/p>\n

Engelbert’s date of birth is listed as July 24, 1989.<\/p>\n

The available booking information does not explain the events that led to the allegation.<\/p>\n

Felony Threats Allegation Under Minnesota Law<\/h2>\n

The cited law concerns the threatening use of a replica firearm or BB gun.<\/p>\n

Under the statute, the conduct must cause or attempt to cause terror in another person.<\/p>\n

The legal description does not confirm which type of object was allegedly involved in Engelbert’s case.<\/p>\n

Police reports or court filings would be needed to establish the specific circumstances.<\/p>\n

The law allows imprisonment for up to one year and one day. It also allows fines of up to $3,000.<\/p>\n

Those are possible statutory penalties, not a prediction of the case’s outcome.<\/p>\n

The booking entry classifies the alleged offense as a felony.<\/p>\n

Readers can review the complete law through the Minnesota Office of the Revisor of Statutes<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Details of the Alleged Incident Remain Limited<\/h2>\n

The booking information does not identify an alleged victim, an exact incident location, or any witnesses.<\/p>\n

It also does not describe the reported conduct or identify any injuries.<\/p>\n

The booking date does not necessarily establish when the alleged incident occurred.<\/p>\n

Additional information may become available through official investigative reports or court documents.<\/p>\n

Polk County Jail and Court Records<\/h2>\n

The Northwest Regional Corrections Center operates in Crookston, Minnesota.<\/p>\n

The facility publishes inmate information through Tri-County Community Corrections.<\/p>\n

Its public roster includes people held on local charges and certain other custody matters.<\/p>\n

The corrections agency says the roster is generally updated on weekday mornings.<\/p>\n

Readers can visit the official Northwest Regional Corrections Center inmate roster<\/a> for available custody information.<\/p>\n

Jail records can change when people are released, transferred, or returned to custody.<\/p>\n

Public court records may provide further details about hearings, charges, and case outcomes.<\/p>\n

Readers can search the Minnesota Court Records Online system<\/a> for available filings.<\/p>\n

The Polk County Sheriff’s Office Records Department<\/a> also maintains arrest and investigative records.<\/p>\n

Presumption of Innocence<\/h2>\n

A jail booking documents an accusation, not a finding of guilt.<\/p>\n

The felony classification does not establish that a judge or jury has reached a decision.<\/p>\n

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

The information supplied for this report does not establish a conviction, plea, or sentence.<\/p>\n

Additional developments must be confirmed through official records before being reported as fact.<\/p>\n
