Park Rapids: Michael Proctor Faces Failure-to-Appear Charge

PARK RAPIDS (trfnews.i234.me) — Michael Proctor appears in Hubbard County Jail records with a custody date of October 4, 2026. The listing identifies a felony failure-to-appear charge involving an earlier felony case.

According to the jail entry, Proctor is listed under case number 2026009104. The charge cites Minnesota Statute 609.49, subdivision 1. The description identifies failure to appear while charged with or convicted of a felony.

The supplied record does not identify the original felony case. It also does not give the date of the alleged missed court appearance.

Understanding the Felony Failure-to-Appear Charge

Under Minnesota law, failure to appear can become a separate criminal offense. The law applies to certain people released from custody after a felony charge or conviction.

The statute addresses an intentional failure to attend a required court appearance. Specific notice or release conditions must also apply. The charge is separate from the original criminal case.

The available jail information does not explain the circumstances of Proctor’s alleged failure to appear. It also does not identify the original charge, court hearing, or reason for the alleged absence.

What Minnesota Law Says About Penalties

Minnesota Statute 609.49 outlines the rules for criminal failure to appear. Possible penalties depend partly on the original felony.

The statute allows penalties based on one-half of the maximum punishment for the underlying offense. It also sets minimum limits on that maximum punishment.

The law includes provisions involving voluntary surrender within 48 hours. It also recognizes certain circumstances beyond a person’s control as a possible defense.

The supplied record does not establish whether either provision applies to Proctor. No conviction or sentence is shown in the information provided.

Hubbard County Jail and Court Information

The jail listing reports a bail or fine amount of $0.00. That figure does not necessarily mean Proctor can be released without conditions.

The court branch is listed as District. However, the entry does not provide a scheduled court date. Additional hearings or court orders may affect the case.

Hubbard County Jail is located in Park Rapids, Minnesota. The facility operates under the Hubbard County Sheriff’s Office.

Readers can search for public court information through Minnesota Court Records Online. That service provides access to available court case details and filings.

The jail’s case number may differ from the official court file number. Court dates, custody information, and case status can change.

The felony charge remains an allegation. Proctor is presumed innocent unless proven guilty in court.
