On April 27, 2026 at approximately 5:17 A.M., Deputy James Stracek of the Carlton County Sheriff's Office responded to the area of [ADDRESS REDACTED] within the City of Wright, Carlton County, Minnesota for a report of a disturbance with a gun shot. Earlier, Sergeant Sanchez of the Carlton County Sheriff's Office had handled a different disturbance call at the same residence. Deputy Stracek learned that S. V. N. Had been at the property earlier, but had left prior to Sergeant Sanchez arriving, but had come back to the property and was banging on a door of the camper.

Nathaniel Thomas Weis, DOB/06162003, the Defendant herein, went to the door, opened it, told S. V. N. To leave, and then fired a single bullet into the air from a handgun. S. V. N. Then left the property. Sergeant Sanchez spoke with S. V. N., transporting her to Essentia in Moose Lake, where she confirmed the events reported by the Defendant. The Defendant was arrested and brought to the Carlton County jail, where he gave a statement to Deputy Stracek, indicating that he fired into the air in the direction of a lake.

Deputy Stracek discussed firearm safety with the Defendant, who appeared to understand that there was no way for him to know where the bullet would land if he shot in the air.
