CROOKSTON (trfnews.i234.me) — On October 13, 2026, Tahlon Chaz E. Sayers was listed in a Polk County jail booking entry.
The entry identifies Sayers, 22, in connection with a probation violation.
His birth date is recorded as October 28, 2003.
The listed offense reads “PROBATION VIOLATION- FE.”
The abbreviation “FE” indicates a felony-level classification in the jail’s charge descriptions.
No specific violation or related court case number was included in the provided information.
The record also does not state whether Sayers was released or remains in custody.
What a Probation Violation Means
Probation allows someone to remain in the community while following conditions ordered by a judge.
Conditions can include reporting requirements, meetings, treatment, or other limits set by the court.
A reported violation does not always mean a person committed another crime.
It may involve a claimed failure to meet an existing court condition.
However, the supplied booking entry does not describe any claimed conduct.
That distinction matters because each probation case depends on its own court order.
Under Minnesota law, courts can review allegations that probation conditions were violated.
The law also sets rules for hearings and possible responses.
Minnesota Statute 609.14 outlines procedures involving stayed sentences and probation violations.
Depending on the findings, a judge may continue probation, change conditions, or impose another lawful outcome.
None of those outcomes can be confirmed for Sayers from this booking entry.
Booking Information and Court Records
Jail entries are snapshots of information recorded at a particular time.
They do not provide a full history of a court case.
The October 13 entry does not list a scheduled hearing, bond amount, or release date.
Those details may appear in separate court records or later jail updates.
Tri-County Community Corrections operates the Northwest Regional Corrections Center in Crookston.
The center serves participating counties, including Polk County.
The agency publishes a local inmate roster on its website.
It says the roster is updated weekday mornings.
Residents can consult the roster for changes.
However, the information may not reflect events occurring later that day.
The Minnesota Judicial Branch also offers online access to many public court records.
Some pending criminal cases cannot be found using only a person’s name.
A court file number can help locate public case details when available.
Readers can visit Minnesota Court Records Online for available case information.
No finding that Sayers violated probation was established by the information provided.
