BECKER COUNTY, Minn.<\/strong> (trfnews.i234.me<\/a>) \u2014 A 22-year-old rural Park Rapids man has been sentenced following a violent home invasion in Becker County.<\/p>\n

Roy Lee Branson Doss was sentenced for felony first-degree burglary after an incident involving three young men.<\/p>\n

According to court records, the home invasion included an assault in which brass knuckles were used.<\/p>\n

A separate felony charge of first-degree assault was dismissed as part of a plea agreement.<\/p>\n

Three Men Involved in Home Invasion<\/h2>\n

The incident occurred November 22, 2025, at a residence off State Highway 87 in Becker County.<\/p>\n

According to court records, Doss was one of three young men involved in the home invasion.<\/p>\n

The group entered the residence, where a young male was assaulted.<\/p>\n

Investigators reported that brass knuckles were used during the attack.<\/p>\n

Court documents also identified Doss as the owner of the vehicle used during the crime.<\/p>\n

The incident resulted in felony charges against Doss, including first-degree burglary and first-degree assault.<\/p>\n

Felony Assault Charge Dismissed in Plea Deal<\/h2>\n

As the criminal case proceeded, Doss reached a plea agreement.<\/p>\n

Under that agreement, the felony first-degree assault charge was dismissed.<\/p>\n

Doss was sentenced on the remaining felony first-degree burglary offense.<\/p>\n

First-degree burglary is a serious felony under Minnesota law.<\/p>\n

The case was handled in Becker County District Court.<\/p>\n

Judge Orders Jail Time and Suspended Prison Sentence<\/h2>\n

On September 30, District Judge Michelle Lawson sentenced Doss to 21 months in state prison at St. Cloud.<\/p>\n

However, the prison sentence was stayed for five years.<\/p>\n

Instead, Doss was ordered to serve 364 days in the Becker County Jail.<\/p>\n

The court credited him with 237 days already served.<\/p>\n

That leaves 127 days of the jail sentence before accounting for any additional credits or applicable release provisions.<\/p>\n

Doss was also ordered to pay a $50 fine and $160 in court fees.<\/p>\n

Five Years of Supervised Probation<\/h2>\n

In addition to jail time, Doss was placed on supervised probation for five years.<\/p>\n

The court imposed several conditions aimed at rehabilitation and preventing future criminal behavior.<\/p>\n

Doss must abstain from alcohol and illegal drug use while complying with probation requirements.<\/p>\n

He must also complete a comprehensive assessment and cognitive skills training.<\/p>\n

The court ordered him to follow all treatment recommendations, including any required aftercare.<\/p>\n

Failure to comply with probation conditions could result in further court action, including possible execution of the stayed prison sentence.<\/p>\n

Case Concludes With Burglary Sentence<\/h2>\n

The sentencing resolves Doss’s first-degree burglary case through the plea agreement.<\/p>\n

His five-year probation period will remain an important part of the court’s sentence.<\/p>\n
