Crookston Court No-Show Leads to Felony Charge

Crookston (trfnews.i234.me) — A Kansas man faces a felony charge after allegedly failing to appear for a required court hearing in Crookston.

Skyler David Beliles, 28, of Wichita, Kansas, is charged in Polk County District Court.

He faces one count of felony failure to appear for court.

The alleged offense dates to December 9, 2025.

Earlier Felony Case Led To Court Conditions

According to the criminal complaint, Beliles first appeared in Polk County District Court in February 2024.

That case involved a felony charge of fleeing a peace officer in a motor vehicle.

The complaint says Beliles was advised that intentionally missing court could result in another criminal charge.

His release conditions also required him to attend all scheduled court appearances.

Beliles later posted bail and was released from custody.

Beliles appeared with his attorney on October 28, 2025, according to the complaint.

During that appearance, his next hearing was scheduled for December 9.

The complaint says Beliles did not appear in person on that date.

He also allegedly did not participate through Zoom.

His attorney was present for the hearing.

Authorities said they found no evidence Beliles was incarcerated or hospitalized at the time.

A warrant was then issued for his arrest.

The complaint alleges Beliles intentionally failed to attend the required hearing.

It also states he was on supervised probation when the alleged failure to appear occurred.

Beliles was later arrested.

The complaint says authorities believe he was extradited from Indiana.

Beliles now faces a separate felony charge under Minnesota’s failure-to-appear law.

The charge carries a maximum penalty of 18 months in prison.

It also carries a possible $2,500 fine, or both.

More information about the statute is available through the Minnesota Revisor of Statutes.

The new charge is an allegation. Beliles is presumed innocent unless proven guilty in court.
