Crookston Woman Booked on Failure-to-Appear Charge
CROOKSTON (trfnews.i234.me) — Christine Mary Alvarado was booked into the Northwest Regional Corrections Center on July 12, 2026.
The official jail roster lists Alvarado’s controlling charge as failure to appear. The entry cites Minnesota Statute 609.49, subdivision 2.
Alvarado was 54 years old when she entered the jail. The roster lists her birth date as July 13, 1971.
Roster Lists Failure-to-Appear Charge
The jail entry describes the related matter as a gross misdemeanor or misdemeanor case. It does not identify the original allegation.
The roster also does not list bond information. It gives no release date or next court appearance for Alvarado.
The Northwest Regional Corrections Center is located at 816 Marin Avenue in Crookston. It serves Polk, Norman, and Red Lake counties.
Tri-County Community Corrections publishes the local inmate roster. The agency says the roster includes people held on county charges and other legal holds.
The public roster is usually updated on weekday mornings. Details may change after release, transfer, or a new court order.
What Minnesota Law Says
Minnesota Statute 609.49 covers release and failure to appear. Subdivision 2 applies to some gross misdemeanor and misdemeanor cases.
The law covers intentional failures to appear for trial after required notice. A violation under that subdivision is a misdemeanor.
The statute also allows a defense in certain cases. That defense applies when circumstances beyond the person’s control caused the absence.
A jail booking is not a finding of guilt. Alvarado is presumed innocent unless proven guilty in court.
Official Information Remains Limited
The roster provides only a short controlling-charge description. It does not explain the facts behind the booking.
Court records may contain more details about the underlying case. Readers can check the Polk County District Court for official updates.
The Polk County Sheriff’s Office also provides public information about records and jail contacts. Questions about inmates should go to the Justice Center.
TRF News based this report on the official roster dated July 13, 2026. The document was printed at 12:21 p.m.
