Brainerd (trfnews.i234.me) – Nicholas James Houle, 41, was booked into Crow Wing County Jail on Sunday, October 25, 2026.
The official jail roster records his booking at 11:52 p.m.
His booking number is 69275.
The record lists two felony-classified probation matters involving threats of violence and third-degree assault.
Both entries cite Minnesota Statute 609.14 and display the custody status “REMANDED.”
Threats of Violence Probation Matter
The first entry is described as “Threats of Violence – PV.”
The abbreviation “PV” refers to a probation violation matter.
However, the jail record does not identify the conditions Houle allegedly violated.
It also does not describe a new threat or identify anyone reportedly threatened.
The entry references a threats of violence matter but does not establish another criminal offense.
No original case number or detailed court order appears in the listing.
Third-Degree Assault Probation Entry
The second entry is described as “Assault-3rd Degree-Substantial Bodily Harm-PV.”
This description connects the probation matter to a third-degree assault case involving substantial bodily harm.
However, the booking does not describe the underlying assault.
It also does not identify any injuries, alleged victim, or incident date.
The listing does not establish that another assault occurred during October 2026.
Additional court documents would be needed to explain the case’s history and alleged probation violation.
What Minnesota Probation Law Says
Minnesota Statute 609.14 establishes procedures involving alleged probation violations and stayed sentences.
Courts may review allegations that someone failed to follow conditions imposed in an earlier criminal case.
Depending on the findings, a judge may continue probation or change its requirements.
A court may also order a previously stayed sentence into effect when legally justified.
However, revocation is not automatic after someone is booked into jail.
State law requires notice of alleged violations and provides hearing rights when those allegations are disputed.
Readers can review Minnesota Statute 609.14 – Revocation of Stay.
Both Entries Marked Remanded
The official Crow Wing County roster displays “REMANDED” for both probation-related entries.
However, that designation does not independently establish the outcome of any probation revocation hearing.
The booking record does not identify a sentence length or provide detailed judicial findings.
It also does not confirm whether Houle was subsequently released or transferred.
No New Assault or Threat Confirmed
Both entries concern probation matters rather than newly described criminal incidents.
The roster does not identify any newly reported assault, threat, or investigation.
It also does not establish whether the two probation matters involve separate underlying incidents.
Readers should not interpret the two entries as proof of new criminal conduct.
Incident Locations Not Confirmed
Crow Wing County Jail is located in Brainerd, Minnesota.
However, the jail’s address does not establish where either underlying offense occurred.
No confirmed incident address, residence, or other location appears in the available record.
The October 25 booking date should not be treated as the date of a new assault or threat.
Jail and Court Information
Readers can review the official Crow Wing County inmate roster.
Additional facility details are available through the Crow Wing County Jail website.
Public case information may be available through Minnesota Court Records Online.
Legal Status
The booking does not establish that Houle committed a new offense or that the alleged violations were proven.
Any disputed probation allegations must be resolved through the applicable court process.
