Minneapolis, MN asked in Criminal Law for Minnesota

Q: Felon’s Personal Belongings

We currently are in possession of some of my wife’s ex husbands belongings. We do not want to have any interaction with him. Is there someone such as the sheriff’s department, parole officer etc who we can give the belongings to, so we are not in a position where we have to have interaction with him?

A: I don't know the answer to that question. I imagine you might: 1. Call his lawyer; 2. Call one of his close family members about it. I suppose much may depend on the volume of "his belongings." A truckload? Or just a wallet and watch? My first though would be someone close to him, willing to store it for free. If he's out on supervised release, he could pick it up with police supervision. Police are generally willing to do that, as long as it doesn't take too long.
