Bemidji, Minnesota (trfnews.i234.me) — A Bemidji man with a recent history of domestic violence is back in custody after allegedly attacking the same woman he was previously convicted of assaulting, just two days after being released from jail.
According to court records, Derek Thomas Fairbanks-Roy had been released on May 29th after pleading guilty to an earlier assault. But on May 31st, officers were dispatched to a Bemidji residence where the female victim reported that Fairbanks-Roy allegedly backhanded her and threw her to the ground during a confrontation.
