Three DANCO Violations Listed
A Domestic Abuse No Contact Order is commonly called a DANCO.
Minnesota courts can issue these orders in certain criminal cases involving domestic abuse.
The orders can restrict contact between a defendant and another person.
Minnesota Statute 629.75 sets criminal penalties for violating a DANCO.
A violation within 10 years of a qualifying prior conviction can be a gross misdemeanor.
