Brainerd (trfnews.i234.me) – William Robert Fearing, 38, was booked into Crow Wing County Jail on Wednesday, October 28, 2026.

The official jail roster records his booking at 1:17 p.m.

His booking number is 69291.

The roster lists one felony-level entry involving a no-contact order matter.

The custody status is listed as “A & D HOLD.”

No-Contact Order Matter Listed

According to the Crow Wing County inmate roster, Fearing is listed under a no-contact order-related hold.

The description reads “A&D Hold- Violate No Contact Order – Within 10 years of.”

However, the displayed description ends before identifying the complete legal circumstances.

The listing does not describe any alleged contact or identify the court order involved.

It also does not establish when the underlying incident allegedly occurred.

Why Minnesota Statute 609.14 Matters

The booking entry cites Minnesota Statute 609.14.

This law governs court proceedings involving possible violations of probation or stayed sentences.

Courts can review allegations that someone failed to follow conditions imposed in an earlier case.

Depending on the findings, a judge may continue probation, change conditions, or order an existing sentence executed.

However, probation revocation is not automatic after a jail booking.

The record does not identify any specific probation condition Fearing allegedly violated.

It also does not provide a final ruling from a judge.

Readers can review Minnesota Statute 609.14 – Revocation of Stay.

Understanding No-Contact Orders

Minnesota law permits courts to issue domestic abuse no-contact orders in certain criminal proceedings.

These orders may restrict communication or other contact with a protected individual.

Minnesota Statute 629.75 establishes penalties for knowingly violating qualifying orders.

Some repeat violations can be classified as felonies.

However, the current booking entry cites the probation-related statute rather than the criminal DANCO statute.

It does not establish a new offense under Minnesota Statute 629.75.

What Does A&D Hold Mean?

The jail roster displays “A & D HOLD” as Fearing’s custody status.

However, the available listing does not explain the designation or identify the agency responsible for it.

The status does not independently establish a new conviction or probation revocation.

It also does not identify a sentence length or release date.

Additional jail or court records would be needed to clarify the hold.

Crow Wing County Jail is located in Brainerd, Minnesota.

However, that location does not establish where the underlying no-contact order matter occurred.

No residence, street address, or other confirmed incident location appears in the booking record.

Any disputed allegation must be addressed through the applicable court process.
