THIEF RIVER FALLS, Minn.<\/strong> (trfnews.i234.me<\/a>) \u2014 Richard Wayne Reierson, 39, is listed in a Pennington County Jail booking entry involving two felony allegations.<\/p>\n

The listed charges include escape from custody and fifth-degree controlled substance possession.<\/p>\n

The booking information identifies Reierson’s inmate type as “PCSO.” Both offenses are marked with an “F,” indicating felony classifications in the jail entry.<\/p>\n

Reierson Listed on Felony Escape Charge<\/h2>\n

The first charge involves escape from custody under Minnesota Statute 609.485, subdivision 2(1)<\/a>.<\/p>\n

This law addresses escaping while being held under a lawful arrest or while in custody for a criminal case.<\/p>\n

Minnesota law also recognizes certain failures to return to lawful custody as escape offenses.<\/p>\n

However, the booking entry does not explain the circumstances surrounding Reierson’s alleged escape.<\/p>\n

It does not identify the location, date, or custody arrangement connected with the allegation.<\/p>\n

The listing also does not establish whether the alleged incident involved leaving a correctional facility or another form of custody.<\/p>\n

Fifth-Degree Drug Possession Also Listed<\/h2>\n

Reierson also faces a listed drug possession allegation under Minnesota Statute 152.025, subdivision 2(1)<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The law addresses unlawful possession of certain Schedule I, II, III, and IV controlled substances.<\/p>\n

It also addresses certain drug residue allegations involving paraphernalia. Specific cannabis and hemp products are excluded from this provision.<\/p>\n

The jail entry classifies the allegation as a felony.<\/p>\n

However, Minnesota law provides a gross misdemeanor classification for some qualifying small-quantity possession offenses.<\/p>\n

The supplied information does not identify the suspected substance or the amount allegedly involved.<\/p>\n

Pennington County Jail Booking Information<\/h2>\n

The booking entry lists Reierson as 6 feet tall and weighing approximately 180 pounds.<\/p>\n

His hair is described as brown, and his eyes are listed as green.<\/p>\n

The supplied record does not include a booking date, bond amount, or scheduled court appearance.<\/p>\n

It also does not establish whether both allegations came from the same incident.<\/p>\n

Additional court documents would be needed to confirm the events behind the charges.<\/p>\n

Where to Find Court and Custody Updates<\/h2>\n

The Pennington County Sheriff’s Office<\/a> provides an online search for available inmate custody information.<\/p>\n

The jail is located in Thief River Falls, Minnesota.<\/p>\n

Readers may also search Minnesota Court Records Online<\/a> for public filings and scheduled hearings.<\/p>\n

Official records may provide more information about the allegations and any future court proceedings.<\/p>\n

The charges listed against Reierson are allegations, not proof of criminal wrongdoing.<\/p>\n

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