Man Faces Felony Registration Charge"},"content":{"rendered":"<p><strong>HUBBARD COUNTY, Minn.<\/strong> (<a href=\"https:\/\/trfnews.i234.me\">trfnews.i234.me<\/a>) \u2013 A Marble man faces a felony charge after investigators say he failed to update his predatory offender registration following a move from Hubbard County.<\/p>\n<p>Authorities allege the man moved from his registered residence in September without providing the required notification.<\/p>\n<p>Gregory Harold Schmidt, 55, of Marble, is charged with knowingly violating Minnesota&#8217;s predatory offender registration requirements.<\/p>\n<h3>Compliance Check Reveals Man Moved<\/h3>\n<p>According to the criminal complaint, investigators began reviewing Schmidt&#8217;s registration status on October 22, 2026.<\/p>\n<p>A Hubbard County deputy had conducted a compliance check at Schmidt&#8217;s registered residence in Farden Township.<\/p>\n<p>During the visit, the deputy spoke with a woman living at the property.<\/p>\n<p>She reportedly explained that Schmidt had moved out approximately one month earlier.<\/p>\n<p>The woman did not know his current address but suggested he might be staying with an acquaintance.<\/p>\n<p>Investigators subsequently contacted officials supervising Schmidt through the Minnesota Department of Corrections.<\/p>\n<h3>Corrections Records Show September Move<\/h3>\n<p>According to court documents, Schmidt was participating in intensive supervised release.<\/p>\n<p>A corrections agent informed investigators that Schmidt had moved to his daughter&#8217;s residence in Marble, located in Itasca County.<\/p>\n<p>Department of Corrections records reportedly showed Schmidt left his registered Hubbard County residence on September 22, 2026.<\/p>\n<p>Investigators allege Schmidt failed to provide the required written notice before changing residences.<\/p>\n<p>Authorities also contacted the Minnesota Bureau of Criminal Apprehension&#8217;s predatory offender registration unit.<\/p>\n<p>The bureau confirmed that Schmidt had not updated his registered primary address when investigators checked.<\/p>\n<figure

enforcement officers located Schmidt at a residence in Marble.<\/p>\n<p>Authorities took Schmidt into custody and transported him to the Hubbard County Jail.<\/p>\n<p>According to the complaint, investigators interviewed Schmidt about his registration requirements.<\/p>\n<p>Schmidt acknowledged that he was required to register as a predatory offender.<\/p>\n<p>He also confirmed that his former Hubbard County residence was his registered primary address.<\/p>\n<h3>Schmidt Says Registration Slipped His Mind<\/h3>\n<p>During questioning, Schmidt reportedly explained that he had been staying at his daughter&#8217;s residence while moving his belongings.<\/p>\n<p>According to court documents, Schmidt said updating his registration had slipped his mind.<\/p>\n<p>He described the situation as a lapse in judgment.<\/p>\n<p>Schmidt also claimed he was checking in with his intensive supervision agents daily.<\/p>\n<p>He reportedly stated that he submitted his new address on October 22 after receiving a call from his agent.<\/p>\n<p>The complaint does not independently confirm that the later registration was completed.<\/p>\n<p>Schmidt acknowledged that his supervision agent was not responsible for updating his predatory offender registration.<\/p>\n<h3>Previous Criminal Sexual Conduct Conviction<\/h3>\n<p>Court documents state Schmidt must register because of a previous criminal sexual conduct conviction.<\/p>\n<p>The complaint identifies a 1999 Beltrami County conviction for fourth-degree criminal sexual conduct.<\/p>\n<p>Investigators also documented previous convictions involving impaired driving and controlled substances.<\/p>\n<h3>Felony Charge Carries Possible Prison Sentence<\/h3>\n<p>Schmidt faces one felony count under <a href=\"https:\/\/www.revisor.mn.gov\/statutes\/2026\/cite\/243.166\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Minnesota Statute 243.166<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>The charge alleges knowingly failing to fulfill a predatory offender registration requirement.<\/p>\n<p>The offense carries a maximum sentence of five years in prison, a $10,000 fine, or both.<\/p>\n<p>The alleged violation occurred between September 22 and October 22, 2026.<\/p>\n<p>The case is filed in Hubbard County District Court under number 29-CR-26-994.<\/p>\n<p>The charge remains an allegation. Schmidt is presumed innocent unless proven guilty in court.<\/p>\n<p><strong>I&#8217;m Adrian Cole reporting for <a href=\"https:\/\/trfnews.i234.me\">TRF News<\/a>.<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Marble man Gregory Harold Schmidt faces a felony charge after investigators say he moved from Hubbard County without updating his predatory offender registration.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":72430,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":"","_wpscp_schedule_draft_date":"","_wpscp_schedule_republish_date":"","_wpscppro_advance_schedule":false,"_wpscppro_advance_schedule_date":"","_wpscppro_dont_share_socialmedia":false,"_wpscppro_custom_social_share_image":0,"_facebook_share_type":"","_twitter_share_type":"","_linkedin_share_type":"","_pinterest_share_type":"","_linkedin_share_type_page":"","_instagram_share_type":"","_medium_share_type":"","_threads_share_type":"","_bluesky_share_type":"","_mastodon_share_type":"","_google_business_share_type":"","_selected_social_profile":[],"_wpsp_enable_custom_social_template":false,"_wpsp_social_scheduling":{"enabled":false,"datetime":null,"platforms":[],"status":"template_only","dateOption":"","timeOption":"","customDays":"","customHours":"","customDate":"","customTime":"","schedulingType":""},"_wpsp_active_default_template":true},"categories":[12],"tags":[883,31634,3702,8371,23386],"trf_mt_town":[],"trf_mt_county":[29530],"trf_mt_topic":[29493],"trf_mt_series":[],"class_list":["post-72429","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-crime","tag-dwi","tag-gregory-harold-schmidt","tag-hubbard-county","tag-sex-offender-registry","tag-sexual-assault"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/trfnews.i234.me\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/72429","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/trfnews.i234.me\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/trfnews.i234.me\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/trfnews.i234.me\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/trfnews.i234.me\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=72429"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/trfnews.i234.me\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/72429\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":72431,"href":"https:\/\/trfnews.i234.me\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/72429\/revisions\/72431"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/trfnews.i234.me\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/72430"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/trfnews.i234.me\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=72429"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/trfnews.i234.me\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=72429"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/trfnews.i234.me\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=72429"},{"taxonomy":"trf_mt_town","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/trfnews.i234.me\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/trf_mt_town?post=72429"},{"taxonomy":"trf_mt_county","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/trfnews.i234.me\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/trf_mt_county?post=72429"},{"taxonomy":"trf_mt_topic","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/trfnews.i234.me\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/trf_mt_topic?post=72429"},{"taxonomy":"trf_mt_series","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/trfnews.i234.me\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/trf_mt_series?post=72429"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
