What Minnesota Law Says

Minnesota Statute 609.748 covers harassment, restraining orders, and penalties for violations.

Subdivision 6(c) applies when an alleged violation follows a qualifying prior conviction within ten years.

The provision also includes a qualifying juvenile delinquency adjudication. It classifies the alleged offense as a gross misdemeanor.

The booking entry reflects that same charge level.

The statute requires an arrest when probable cause exists. The restraining order must first be verified.

Few Incident Details Available

The custody roster does not list the alleged incident location. It does not name the arresting agency.

No police officer names are included in this report. The roster also provides no case narrative.

No bond amount appeared beside Strom’s entry. That information could change as the case moves forward.

Otter Tail County updates its online custody list every two hours.

The county warns that the roster may not always be complete. It should not replace official court records.

Future case information may appear through Minnesota Court Records Online.

Charge Remains an Allegation

A jail booking does not prove guilt. The charge remains an allegation unless proven in court.

Strom is presumed innocent unless a court finds her guilty. Her custody status may also change.

This report reflects the county roster available on June 21, 2026.
