Brainerd (trfnews.i234.me)<\/a> \u2013 Joshua David Nelson, 45, was booked into Crow Wing County Jail on Wednesday, October 7, 2026.<\/p>\n

The official jail roster records his booking at 7:52 p.m.<\/p>\n

His booking number is 69183.<\/p>\n

The record lists two felony entries involving second-degree assault with a dangerous weapon.<\/p>\n

Both entries display the custody status “BOND\/BAIL SET.”<\/p>\n

Two Felony Assault Entries Listed<\/h2>\n

According to the Crow Wing County inmate roster, Nelson has two entries for second-degree assault involving a dangerous weapon.<\/p>\n

Both entries cite Minnesota Statute 609.222, subdivision 1.<\/p>\n

However, the booking information does not describe the alleged assaults.<\/p>\n

It also does not identify the type of weapon reportedly involved.<\/p>\n

No information about injuries or the circumstances surrounding the allegations appears in the roster.<\/p>\n

The two entries may involve separate allegations, but the roster does not establish that.<\/p>\n

What Minnesota Assault Law Says<\/h2>\n

Minnesota Statute 609.222 addresses second-degree assault.<\/p>\n

Under subdivision 1, assaulting another person with a dangerous weapon is a felony offense.<\/p>\n

The law covers qualifying assaults involving weapons considered dangerous under Minnesota law.<\/p>\n

However, the booking record does not identify any particular weapon in Nelson’s case.<\/p>\n

The cited subdivision also does not require proof of substantial bodily harm.<\/p>\n

That circumstance is addressed separately under subdivision 2.<\/p>\n

Possible Penalties Under Minnesota Law<\/h2>\n

Second-degree assault with a dangerous weapon carries serious possible penalties.<\/p>\n

A conviction under the cited provision can result in up to seven years in prison.<\/p>\n

The statute also permits a fine of up to $14,000, or both penalties.<\/p>\n

Actual sentences depend on the facts, applicable laws, and court findings.<\/p>\n

These statutory maximums are not sentences imposed against Nelson.<\/p>\n

The jail roster does not establish a conviction or final case outcome.<\/p>\n

Bond and Bail Status<\/h2>\n

Both felony entries display “BOND\/BAIL SET” on the official roster.<\/p>\n

However, the supplied booking information does not identify the bail amount.<\/p>\n

It also does not establish whether Nelson posted bail or was later released.<\/p>\n

No confirmed court hearing date appears in the listing.<\/p>\n

Additional court records may provide information about later proceedings.<\/p>\n

Incident Location Not Confirmed<\/h2>\n

Crow Wing County Jail is located in Brainerd, Minnesota.<\/p>\n

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

No verified residence, business, street address, or other incident location appears in the booking record.<\/p>\n

The October 7 booking date also does not establish when the alleged conduct occurred.<\/p>\n

The two identical entries should not be reported as two separate incidents without further evidence.<\/p>\n

Jail and Court Information<\/h2>\n

Readers can check the official Crow Wing County inmate roster<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Facility information is available through the Crow Wing County Jail website<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Public court records 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

Joshua David Nelson is presumed innocent unless proven guilty in court.<\/p>\n
