Giselle Lyons Booked on Felony Failure-to-Appear Charge

POLK COUNTY, MN (trfnews.i234.me) – Giselle Lee Lyons, 39, was listed in a recent Polk County Jail booking involving a felony failure-to-appear allegation.

According to the supplied jail record, Lyons was booked on October 16, 2026. The listed offense involves allegedly failing to appear in court after being charged with or convicted of a felony.

Felony Failure-to-Appear Allegation

The Polk County Jail record identifies one offense associated with Lyons: failure to appear in connection with a felony charge or conviction.

The allegation references Minnesota Statute 609.49, subdivision 1.

Under Minnesota law, a person who has been charged with or convicted of a felony and released from custody may face a separate criminal charge for intentionally failing to appear at a required court proceeding under qualifying circumstances.

The offense is classified as a felony.

However, the supplied jail record does not identify the underlying felony case or the court appearance Lyons allegedly missed.

What Does Felony Failure to Appear Mean?

Minnesota Statute 609.49 addresses situations in which a person is required to appear in court following release from custody.

The law includes requirements involving notice that failing to appear is a criminal offense or a release order requiring the person’s attendance.

Potential penalties for felony failure to appear are tied to the maximum punishment authorized for the underlying felony, subject to statutory limits.

Because the original offense is not identified in the supplied record, a specific maximum penalty cannot be determined in Lyons’ case.
