Understanding A DANCO

DANCO stands for Domestic Abuse No Contact Order.

A Minnesota court can issue a DANCO during certain criminal cases involving domestic abuse.

The order can also apply in some harassment, stalking, or earlier DANCO cases.

State law makes it a crime to knowingly violate an active DANCO.

A violation can carry greater penalties when qualifying prior convictions exist.

Under Minnesota law, one qualifying prior offense within 10 years can raise the charge to a gross misdemeanor.

Two or more qualifying prior offenses can result in a felony-level DANCO violation.

The Clay County roster describes Beyer’s charge as involving a previous conviction.

The roster does not list a final conviction for the current allegation.

The Clay County Correctional Facility is located in Moorhead, Minnesota.

The county provides a public inmate roster through its official website.

Readers can view the Clay County inmate roster for current custody information.

Clay County warns that inmate information can change as cases move through court.

The county also states that an arrest does not prove guilt.

People facing criminal allegations are presumed innocent unless convicted in court.

More information about DANCO law is available through the Minnesota Revisor of Statutes.
