MILNOR, N.D. (Valley News Live) — A 22-year-old Milnor man is in the Richland County Jail on bond after Sargent County authorities arrested him Sunday, Nov. 8, on more than 40 felony counts, including child-related charges.
Jayden Micheal Engst was taken into custody after an investigation by the Sargent County Sheriff’s Office, the sheriff’s office said Tuesday. His bond is set at $20,000 cash or $50,000 surety.
Nineteen of the counts are class A felonies for promoting or directing obscene material with a minor. The sheriff’s office also lists 21 counts of “certain materials prohibited,” four counts of corruption of a minor and two counts of endangerment of a child, each a class C felony.
Engst also faces felony charges of possessing methamphetamine and methamphetamine paraphernalia.
The End of the Woods Task Force helped the sheriff’s office with the investigation. The sheriff’s office said the charges are allegations and Engst is presumed innocent until proven guilty in court.
