What the Statute Says
Minnesota law covers certain intentional failures to appear in felony cases.
The law applies after a person receives the required notice or release conditions.
Possible penalties depend partly on the maximum penalty for the underlying felony.
The statute also sets minimum limits for the possible maximum sentence.
A charge may be dismissed after a voluntary surrender within 48 hours.
That provision does not apply when authorities apprehend the person.
The law also recognizes a defense for circumstances beyond the person’s control.
Those points describe the statute and do not decide Lyons’ case.
Case Information Remains Limited
The roster does not show whether bail was set.
It does not list a court date or case number.
It also does not state whether Lyons has entered a plea.
A jail entry records custody information and an alleged offense.
It does not establish guilt.
Lyons is presumed innocent unless proven guilty in court.
Charges and custody status can change during court proceedings.
Readers can review the official jail roster for custody updates.
Minnesota court records may provide information on later hearings and filings.
