A 40-year-old man is facing felony charges after investigators say he broke into a Brainerd apartment, destroyed property and threatened responding officers.
The incident happened around 9:30 p.m. Friday, Jan. 30, at an apartment building on the North 8th Street block in Brainerd.
Nathaniel Donald Brimson, of Baxter, is charged with second-degree burglary of a dwelling, two counts of threats of violence, first-degree property damage and gross misdemeanor obstruction of legal process with force, according to a criminal complaint filed in Crow Wing County District Court.
According to the complaint, officers were dispatched after a tenant reported hearing glass breaking and a man yelling inside a neighbor’s apartment. The caller told dispatch she did not know whether the woman who lived in the unit was inside and said she did not believe the man was supposed to be there.
