The jail record identifies Penn as 52 years old at the time of booking.

The listed offense is described as “Domestic Abuse – Violate Order for Protection – Arrest of Adult.”

However, the booking information does not describe what allegedly happened or identify the circumstances leading to her detention.

The arrest description alone does not establish that a new act of domestic violence occurred.

What Is an Order for Protection in Minnesota?

An order for protection, commonly called an OFP, is a court order issued under Minnesota law.

These orders are intended to provide protection in cases involving domestic abuse.

Depending on the court’s instructions, an order may prohibit certain contact, require a person to stay away from specified locations, or impose other restrictions.

Under Minnesota Statute 518B.01, knowingly violating an order for protection can result in criminal penalties.

A standard violation is generally classified as a misdemeanor.

Gross misdemeanor or felony penalties may apply when additional statutory circumstances are established.

The available booking entry does not provide enough information to determine which penalty classification applies to Penn’s allegation.

Details of Alleged Violation Not Disclosed

The booking record does not identify the protection order or explain which condition was allegedly violated.

It also does not establish whether the allegation involved contact with a protected person, entering a restricted location, or another prohibited action.

No victim information or detailed criminal complaint was included in the supplied record.

Further details would require confirmation through official law enforcement reports or public court filings.
