Stolen guns recovered<\/h2>\n

Authorities say two guns were seized during the case. The guns were reported stolen from St. Cloud and Minneapolis.<\/p>\n

Records say the case resulted in new charges tied to those firearms. The update did not detail where the guns were found.<\/p>\n

Prior conviction noted<\/h2>\n

The update also notes Thompson has a prior first-degree burglary conviction in Hennepin County.<\/p>\n

Prosecutors often cite prior felonies in firearms cases. Court hearings will determine what evidence is allowed.<\/p>\n

Thompson now faces two felony counts in Becker County.<\/p>\n

The counts listed are receiving stolen property and possession of any type of firearm or ammunition.<\/p>\n

Criminal charges are allegations. Thompson is presumed innocent unless proven guilty in court.<\/p>\n
