THIEF RIVER FALLS, Minn.<\/strong> (trfnews.i234.me<\/a>) \u2014 Brenden Douglas Hanson, 18, is named in Pennington County jail information involving a weapons allegation.<\/p>\n

The listing identifies a gross misdemeanor allegation of carrying or possessing a pistol without a required permit.<\/p>\n

The listed offense falls under Minnesota Statute 624.714, subdivision 1a.<\/p>\n

Hanson’s inmate classification is listed as PCSO, and the booking information identifies one weapons allegation.<\/p>\n

The supplied details do not identify the booking date or the location of the alleged incident.<\/p>\n

Gross Misdemeanor Weapons Allegation<\/h2>\n

Under Minnesota Statute 624.714<\/a>, carrying a pistol without a required permit can result in criminal charges.<\/p>\n

The law covers certain situations involving pistols in public places and vehicles.<\/p>\n

A violation under subdivision 1a is generally classified as a gross misdemeanor for a first conviction.<\/p>\n

A second or subsequent conviction under the provision is classified as a felony.<\/p>\n

However, Hanson’s supplied booking entry specifically labels the allegation as a gross misdemeanor.<\/p>\n

The record does not establish that Hanson has any prior weapons convictions.<\/p>\n

Under Minnesota Statute 609.03<\/a>, a gross misdemeanor can carry up to 364 days in jail.<\/p>\n

A conviction can also result in a fine of up to $3,000, or both penalties.<\/p>\n

These are possible statutory penalties, not a sentence imposed in Hanson’s case.<\/p>\n

Details About the Alleged Incident<\/h2>\n

The jail information does not explain where Hanson allegedly possessed or carried the pistol.<\/p>\n

It also does not describe the circumstances that led to the reported custody listing.<\/p>\n

No information was provided about whether the pistol was loaded or used during another incident.<\/p>\n

The supplied entry does not identify another alleged offense.<\/p>\n

Pennington County Jail Information<\/h2>\n

The Pennington County Jail<\/a> is located at 102 First Street West in Thief River Falls.<\/p>\n

The facility operates under the Pennington County Sheriff’s Office.<\/p>\n

Hanson is identified as 18 years old in the supplied inmate information.<\/p>\n

The listing describes him as approximately 6 feet, 5 inches tall and weighing 235 pounds.<\/p>\n

His listed hair and eye colors are both brown.<\/p>\n

The information does not include a bond amount, court case number, or scheduled hearing date.<\/p>\n

Readers can check the official Pennington County inmate search<\/a> for updated custody records.<\/p>\n

Jail listings may change following court appearances, release decisions, or transfers.<\/p>\n

Court Proceedings and Possible Updates<\/h2>\n

Additional court records may provide more information about the alleged weapons offense.<\/p>\n

Those records could identify the incident date, location, and circumstances surrounding the allegation.<\/p>\n

Readers can review available case information through Minnesota Court Records Online<\/a>.<\/p>\n

However, pending criminal cases generally cannot be located through defendant name searches alone.<\/p>\n

A case number or another permitted search method may be required.<\/p>\n

A jail listing is not proof that a crime occurred or that someone has been convicted.<\/p>\n

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

TRF News will report additional details if verified public information becomes available.<\/p>\n
