Libby Erickson Charged With Restraining Order Violation

THIEF RIVER FALLS, MN (trfnews.i234.me) – A 19-year-old Thief River Falls woman has been charged with violating a harassment restraining order after allegedly visiting a home she was prohibited from approaching.

Libby Parker Erickson, 19, faces the charge following a report received by the Pennington County Sheriff’s Office on October 13, 2026, concerning an alleged violation two days earlier.

Restraining Order Prohibited Contact

According to the criminal complaint, Erickson was served with a harassment restraining order on June 9.

The order prohibited her from contacting the petitioner or coming within 300 feet of the petitioner’s residence.

Court documents indicate the order remains effective until June 6, 2028, unless modified by a subsequent court order.

Employee Reports Encounter at Residence

The alleged violation occurred October 11, when an employee was at the petitioner’s home helping with a foot dressing.

According to the complaint, the employee encountered Erickson inside the residence despite the restrictions outlined in the court order.

The employee also alleged that Erickson smoked the petitioner’s medical marijuana.

The employee reportedly left after Erickson’s boyfriend arrived and she overheard Erickson speaking negatively about her.

According to the complaint, the employee told authorities that Erickson had frequently visited the residence despite the restraining order.

The supplied report does not identify any separate drug-related charge arising from the employee’s allegation.

Previous Juvenile Court Case Referenced

The criminal complaint also references Erickson’s previous adjudication of delinquency in connection with a February 2021 fourth-degree assault case in Pennington County.

However, the report does not establish whether the petitioner in the current restraining order case was involved in that earlier matter.

It also does not specify the criminal severity classification of the newly filed restraining order violation charge.

Minnesota Law on Restraining Order Violations

Under Minnesota Statute 609.748, subdivision 6, violating a harassment restraining order can constitute a misdemeanor, gross misdemeanor, or felony, depending on the circumstances.

Certain previous qualifying offenses or adjudications can affect the classification.

The available complaint summary does not identify the exact subdivision under which Erickson was charged, so the applicable offense level has not been independently established.

Court Proceedings

The supplied information does not include a verified criminal court file number, upcoming hearing date, or final disposition.

Additional public case information may be available through Minnesota Court Records Online.

The charge remains an allegation. Erickson is presumed innocent unless proven guilty in court.
