Minnesota Law Covers Felony Failure to Appear
Minnesota Statute 609.49 covers release and failure to appear. Subdivision 1 applies when the underlying matter involves a felony charge or conviction.
The law addresses an intentional failure to appear after required notice or release conditions. A separate failure-to-appear case can result under those circumstances.
The statute also contains rules involving voluntary surrender and possible defenses. Readers can review the official law through the Minnesota Revisor of Statutes.
The booking entry provided for this report does not identify the underlying felony case. It also does not say whether that case involved a pending charge or conviction.
Underlying Case Details Not Listed
The record does not provide the scheduled court appearance date. It also does not explain why McCaskel allegedly failed to appear.
No release date was included in the information provided. The booking record also does not list a later court hearing.
Additional case details may appear in public court records as the matter proceeds. Those records could identify the underlying case and future hearing dates.

Booking Does Not Establish Guilt
A jail booking records a person’s entry into custody. It also identifies the charge or matter listed by the facility.
A booking does not independently establish guilt. Criminal allegations are resolved through the court system.
