Failure-to-Appear Allegation

The booking entry identifies the allegation as failure to appear in a gross misdemeanor or misdemeanor matter.

The charge is classified as a misdemeanor, according to the supplied booking details.

Under Minnesota Statute 609.49, certain defendants can face criminal charges for intentionally missing a required court appearance.

The law also includes requirements involving notice of the appearance or conditions of release.

The booking summary does not identify the original charge connected to Clark’s alleged missed court appearance.

It also does not provide the date or location of that appearance.

The Northwest Regional Corrections Center is located in Crookston, Minnesota.

The facility serves Polk, Norman, and Red Lake counties through Tri-County Community Corrections.

The correctional facility is located at 816 Marin Avenue in Crookston.

Officials maintain a public inmate roster showing booking dates, identifying information, and controlling charges.
