Otter Tail County Jail on October 20, 2026.<\/p>\n<p>The supplied jail record lists an active felony allegation involving third-degree burglary of a building open to the public.<\/p>\n<p>The offense falls under Minnesota Statute 609.582, subdivision 3(b).<\/p>\n<p>The record identifies the case as active, not sentenced.<\/p>\n<h2>Third-Degree Burglary Allegation Listed<\/h2>\n<p>According to the booking information, Nord faces a listed allegation involving unlawful entry and theft-related conduct.<\/p>\n<p>The cited statute addresses certain situations involving buildings normally open to the public.<\/p>\n<p>The law includes entering such a building with intent to steal or stealing while inside.<\/p>\n<p>It also requires specific conditions involving a previous warning and qualifying criminal history.<\/p>\n<p>However, the supplied booking record does not identify the building allegedly involved.<\/p>\n<p>It also does not describe any property reportedly stolen or provide an estimated value.<\/p>\n<p>No details about the reported entry, investigation, or arrest circumstances appear in the supplied information.<\/p>\n<h2>What Minnesota Burglary Law Says<\/h2>\n<p>Minnesota Statute 609.582 establishes several degrees of burglary based on the circumstances of an offense.<\/p>\n<p>Under subdivision 3(b), the law addresses theft-related entry into certain buildings open to the public.<\/p>\n<p>The provision requires entry within one year after being told to leave and not return.<\/p>\n<p>It also requires a qualifying conviction within the preceding five years, along with specified sentencing conditions.<\/p>\n<p>The supplied jail record does not identify any previous conviction or warning allegedly involved in Nord&#8217;s case.<\/p>\n<p>Third-degree burglary under this provision is classified as a felony.<\/p>\n<p>A conviction can carry up to five years in prison or a $10,000 fine, or both.<\/p>\n<p>These are maximum possible penalties, not a sentence imposed against Nord.<\/p>\n<p>Readers can review <a href=\"https:\/\/www.revisor.mn.gov\/statutes\/cite\/609.582\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Minnesota Statute 609.582 \u2013
