BRAINERD, Crow Wing County<\/strong> (trfnews.i234.me<\/a>) \u2014 A 30-year-old Brainerd man faces felony assault charges following an alleged knife threat against his mother.<\/p>\n

Chase Allen Ladouceur, 30, of Brainerd<\/strong>, is charged with second-degree assault with a dangerous weapon.<\/p>\n

He also faces a misdemeanor domestic assault charge.<\/p>\n

The charges stem from an incident reported on November 5, 2026, at a Crow Wing County residence.<\/p>\n

Deputies Called for Welfare Check<\/h2>\n

According to the criminal complaint, Crow Wing County deputies received a welfare check request around 3:36 p.m. November 5.<\/p>\n

The caller expressed concern about his mother’s safety because of his brother’s behavior.<\/p>\n

Earlier that morning, the caller had spoken with his mother by telephone.<\/p>\n

She reportedly told him Ladouceur was walking around with a knife.<\/p>\n

During a later telephone call, Ladouceur allegedly answered the phone, became angry, and ended the conversation.<\/p>\n

The caller then contacted law enforcement to request a welfare check.<\/p>\n

Mother Reports Alleged Knife Threat<\/h2>\n

On November 6, investigators received additional information from Ladouceur’s mother.<\/p>\n

According to the complaint, she described an incident inside her bedroom the previous day.<\/p>\n

She alleged Ladouceur approached her while holding a butcher knife.<\/p>\n

The woman reported that he pointed the knife toward her and made a jabbing motion.<\/p>\n

She told investigators she feared he would stab her.<\/p>\n

The complaint also describes earlier alleged physical confrontations between the two.<\/p>\n

No physical injury from the November 5 knife incident was described in the supplied complaint.<\/p>\n
