The Moorhead Police Department is listed as the arresting agency.<\/p>\n

The roster lists four allegations involving second-degree burglary, third-degree assault, fifth-degree assault, and theft.<\/p>\n

Second-Degree Burglary Allegation<\/h2>\n

The first listed allegation involves second-degree burglary of a government, religious, historic, or school building.<\/p>\n

Minnesota Statute 609.582, subdivision 2(b), addresses burglary involving these types of buildings.<\/p>\n

The provision covers certain unauthorized entries involving intent to steal or damage property.<\/p>\n

It also covers qualifying theft or property damage committed after entering without permission.<\/p>\n

However, the jail record does not identify which type of building was allegedly involved.<\/p>\n

It also does not describe how the reported entry occurred.<\/p>\n

Second-degree burglary under this provision can carry up to ten years in prison.<\/p>\n

The law also allows a fine of up to $20,000, or both penalties.<\/p>\n

Third-Degree Assault Allegation<\/h2>\n

The second allegation involves third-degree assault resulting in substantial bodily harm.<\/p>\n

Minnesota Statute 609.223, subdivision 1, addresses assaults that cause substantial bodily harm.<\/p>\n

This offense is classified as a felony under Minnesota law.<\/p>\n

A conviction can carry up to five years in prison or a $10,000 fine, or both.<\/p>\n

However, the booking record does not describe the alleged assault.<\/p>\n

It also does not identify the reported injuries or explain whether medical treatment was provided.<\/p>\n

A basic fifth-degree assault conviction can carry up to 90 days in jail or a $1,000 fine.<\/p>\n

However, the jail listing does not explain whether the two assault allegations involve the same incident.<\/p>\n

Theft of Property Over $1,000<\/h2>\n

The fourth allegation involves theft of property valued at more than $1,000.<\/p>\n

Minnesota Statute 609.52 establishes penalties for theft based on property value and other circumstances.<\/p>\n

However, the roster does not identify the property allegedly taken.<\/p>\n

It also does not provide an exact value or describe the reported theft.<\/p>\n

The record does not establish whether the theft and burglary allegations involve the same incident.<\/p>\n

Incident Location Not Confirmed<\/h2>\n

The booking identifies the Moorhead Police Department as the arresting agency.<\/p>\n

However, that information does not establish where the alleged offenses occurred.<\/p>\n

No specific building, street address, or incident location appears in the supplied record.<\/p>\n

Additional police reports or court documents would be needed to confirm those details.<\/p>\n

It also does not confirm whether prosecutors formally filed all four allegations.<\/p>\n

Public case information may be available through Minnesota Court Records Online<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Presumption of Innocence<\/h2>\n

A jail booking records allegations and does not establish criminal guilt.<\/p>\n

Aaron Michael Herman is presumed innocent unless proven guilty in court.<\/p>\n
