The entry identifies a trespass charge involving an alleged refusal to leave another person’s property.<\/p>\n The official October 13 jail roster<\/a> lists Harstad’s birth date as July 25, 1975. It gives October 12 as her incarceration date.<\/p>\n The listed controlling charge reads “Trespass-Premises of Another-Refuse to Depart.” The entry refers to Minnesota Statute 609.605, subdivision 1(b)(3).<\/p>\n The roster places the abbreviation “GM” beside the charge. However, the cited section of state law describes this offense under its misdemeanor subdivision. The roster does not explain that difference.<\/p>\n Under Minnesota’s trespass statute<\/a>, the cited provision concerns refusing a lawful demand to leave another person’s premises. The law also addresses whether someone has a legal right to remain.<\/p>\n The statute says the conduct must be intentional for this provision to apply. The roster identifies the listed charge, not evidence presented in court.<\/p>\n The entry does not identify the property connected to the alleged trespass. It also does not name a property owner or describe the events leading to custody.<\/p>\n No case number, hearing date, or release date appears alongside Harstad’s listing. The entry does not explain whether bail was set.<\/p>\n The October 13 roster shows who was listed when that document was prepared. It does not establish whether Harstad remains in custody at a later time.<\/p>\n A jail listing does not establish a conviction or determine guilt. Any court decision would need confirmation through a separate court record.<\/p>\n Tri-County Community Corrections<\/a> says its public inmate roster is updated on weekday mornings. The agency serves correctional needs across Polk, Norman, and Red Lake counties.<\/p>\nHarstad’s Jail Roster Information<\/h2>\n
