On July 8, 2025, Officer Knutson received a complaint from Witness #1 (female, fully identified in police reports) regarding an alleged mail theft. Witness #1 reported that she placed a check in her mailbox, which was enclosed in a business envelope and addressed to a business to which she intended to transfer funds. The amount of the check was $325 and was placed in a mailbox located in Olmsted County Witness #1 further advised that the check was subsequently cashed by an unintended recipient, identified as Corey Gilbertson ([DOB REDACTED]; defendant herein). The deposited check reflected an alteration to the payee/recipient block to include the defendant’s name.
The unauthorized check deposit occurred at a bank in Olmested County Minnesota. Detective See was later assigned to the case to review the associated financial records. Upon review, Detective See observed that the signature on the check deposited into the defendant’s account was consistent with the signature on the defendant’s driver’s permit and other personal documents. PLEASE TAKE NOTICE: YOU MUST APPEAR FOR EVERY COURT HEARING REGARDING THIS CASE. FAILURE TO APPEAR FOR COURT IS A CRIMINAL OFFENSE AND MAY RESULT IN ADDITIONAL CRIMINAL CHARGES BEING IMPOSED AND PUNISHED AS PROVIDED IN MINNESOTA STATUTES SECTION 609.49.
