Polk County (trfnews.i234.me) – On March 31, 2025, authorities arrested 49-year-old Hilario Rincon, born June 10, 1975, for violating a Domestic Abuse No Contact Order (DANCO) within 10 years of a previous conviction, as specified under Minnesota Statute 629.75.2(c). This statute addresses situations where an individual knowingly violates a DANCO within a decade of a prior qualified domestic violence-related offense conviction or adjudication of delinquency. A gross misdemeanor conviction under this statute mandates a minimum of ten days’ imprisonment and requires the offender to participate in court-ordered counseling or appropriate programs.
This incident underscores the critical importance of adhering to court-issued no-contact orders. Violations can lead to severe legal consequences, including mandatory incarceration and participation in rehabilitative programs.
