Fergus Falls (trfnews.i234.me)<\/a> \u2013 Daniel Edward Pesola, 34, was booked into Otter Tail County Jail on October 10, 2026.<\/p>\n

The supplied jail record lists two sentenced offenses involving controlled substances and carrying a pistol without a permit.<\/p>\n

Both entries carry the classification “GM \u2013 Sentenced” in the county’s booking information.<\/p>\n

The listing also includes November 18, 2026, although its purpose is not clearly identified.<\/p>\n

Fifth-Degree Drug Offense Listed<\/h2>\n

The first listed offense falls under Minnesota Statute 152.025, subdivision 2(a)(2)(i).<\/p>\n

This provision covers obtaining, attempting to obtain, possessing, or controlling a controlled substance through fraud or deceit.<\/p>\n

The law also addresses misrepresentation and other deceptive methods used to obtain controlled substances.<\/p>\n

The jail record identifies the offense as a sentenced gross misdemeanor matter.<\/p>\n

However, the supplied information does not identify the controlled substance involved.<\/p>\n

It also does not explain the reported circumstances or describe how the substance was obtained.<\/p>\n

The cited drug provision can authorize felony-level penalties, even though the jail lists a gross misdemeanor sentence.<\/p>\n

The complete court judgment would help explain the sentencing classification in Pesola’s case.<\/p>\n

Pistol Permit Offense Also Listed<\/h2>\n

The second listed offense involves carrying or possessing a pistol without the required permit.<\/p>\n

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

This provision generally requires a permit to carry a pistol in certain public places and vehicles.<\/p>\n

A first violation is classified as a gross misdemeanor, while a subsequent conviction can be a felony.<\/p>\n

However, the jail record does not identify the firearm involved or where the reported offense occurred.<\/p>\n

The supplied information also does not describe the circumstances surrounding the pistol allegation.<\/p>\n

Both Offenses Marked as Sentenced<\/h2>\n

The jail listing identifies both offenses as sentenced matters.<\/p>\n

However, the record does not provide the full sentencing judgments or the dates sentences were imposed.<\/p>\n

It also does not explain whether the two offenses arose from the same incident.<\/p>\n

The record includes November 18, 2026, beside the sentencing information.<\/p>\n

That date may represent an estimated release date, but its meaning is not clearly confirmed.<\/p>\n

Any projected release date may change because of custody decisions or court orders.<\/p>\n

Incident Location Not Identified<\/h2>\n

The supplied booking record does not identify Pesola’s hometown or the locations of the underlying offenses.<\/p>\n

No street address, business name, or specific incident location appears in the available information.<\/p>\n

Otter Tail County Jail is located at 416 South Mill Street in Fergus Falls, Minnesota.<\/p>\n

However, the jail’s location does not establish where the reported offenses occurred.<\/p>\n
