What Minnesota Law Says
Minnesota Statute 609.49 covers release and failure to appear.
Subdivision 2 applies to people charged with a gross misdemeanor or misdemeanor. The law addresses intentional failure to appear for trial after required notice.
It also applies after certain release conditions require a person to appear. The statute classifies a violation of subdivision 2 as a misdemeanor.
The statute also provides an affirmative defense in certain circumstances. That defense can apply when circumstances beyond someone’s control caused the missed appearance.
The jail roster does not provide a full court case history. It also does not explain the circumstances behind the listed charge.
Booking Does Not Determine Guilt
A jail booking records custody status and a listed controlling charge. It does not establish guilt in a criminal case.
Charges and custody status can change as a case moves through court. Court filings and later hearings may provide additional details.
