OTTER TAIL COUNTY (trfnews.i234.me) — Jefferson Charles Ingram, 29, was booked into the Otter Tail County Jail on June 9, 2026.
The jail record lists Ingram as an active inmate. It identifies his booking number as 002600000504.
Ingram is listed with one misdemeanor charge. The allegation involves violating a domestic abuse no-contact order.
Misdemeanor Charge Listed
The listed charge cites Minnesota Statute 629.75, subdivision 2(b). That section covers knowing violations of domestic abuse no-contact orders.
Under state law, a basic violation is a misdemeanor. More serious penalties may apply when certain prior convictions exist.
A domestic abuse no-contact order is commonly called a DANCO. A court may issue the order during a criminal case.
A court may also issue one after a conviction. The order can remain separate from release or probation conditions.
Details Remain Limited
The jail record does not describe the alleged contact. It also does not identify the protected person.
No bond amount was included in the booking information provided for this report. Release terms may change after a hearing.
Readers can review the official Otter Tail County custody list for updated information.
The county says the online list is updated every two hours. However, officials warn that information may be incomplete.
Booking records should not be used as proof of guilt. They only show reported custody and charge information.
Court Records May Provide Updates
Court filings may provide more information about the allegation. They may also list future hearings and release conditions.
Minnesota Court Records Online provides public access to many state court records.
Readers can also review Minnesota Statute 629.75 through the Revisor of Statutes.
The Otter Tail County Jail is located on South Mill Street in Fergus Falls. It holds sentenced and unsentenced inmates.
The facility also houses some inmates for other agencies. County officials list its capacity at 111 people.
A criminal charge is only an accusation. Ingram is presumed innocent unless proven guilty in court.
The case may change as court hearings occur. Readers should rely on official records for the latest legal status.
