Understanding Charges and Custody Status
The Crow Wing County roster may display multiple criminal charges for one detainee. Charges can be associated with different courts, warrants, probation matters, or detention conditions.
| Roster Text | General Meaning |
|---|---|
| Felony (F) | Felony-level offense classification. |
| Gross Misdemeanor (G) | Gross misdemeanor-level classification. |
| Misdemeanor (M) | Misdemeanor-level classification. |
| Hold Placed | A hold or detention condition appears in the jail system. |
| Bond/Bail Set | A bond or bail determination is recorded for a listed matter. |
| Remanded | The person has been returned or committed to custody under an applicable legal order. |
These descriptions are general explanations, not legal interpretations of a particular case. When a detainee has multiple cases or holds, meeting one release condition may not resolve every custody restriction.

A mugshot does not prove criminal wrongdoing, and it should not be used as evidence of guilt. Always refer to official court records for a case outcome.
