What the orders do<\/h2>\n

A DANCO is issued by a judge in a criminal case.<\/p>\n

It bars direct and indirect contact with a protected person.<\/p>\n

An OFP is a civil court order under Minnesota\u2019s Domestic Abuse Act.<\/p>\n

It can restrict contact and set other safety rules.<\/p>\n

Violating either order can lead to new criminal charges.<\/p>\n

Enhanced gross misdemeanor counts<\/h2>\n

Both counts are charged as gross misdemeanors.<\/p>\n

Court records cite an enhancement tied to a prior domestic violence conviction.<\/p>\n

The prior conviction is listed as within the last 10 years.<\/p>\n

In Minnesota, a gross misdemeanor can carry up to 364 days in jail.<\/p>\n

It can also carry a fine of up to $3,000 if no other penalty is listed.<\/p>\n

Court hearing and bail<\/h2>\n

Malvin appeared in the Kandiyohi County District Court on the charges.<\/p>\n

Judge Stephen J. Wentzell set bail at $2,000 with conditions.<\/p>\n

The court also set unconditional bail at $20,000.<\/p>\n

Conditions in these cases often include obeying all orders.<\/p>\n

They often include no contact with the protected person.<\/p>\n

How to follow the case<\/h2>\n

The case was filed on Feb. 18, 2026.<\/p>\n

Public case details may be available through Minnesota Court Records Online (MCRO)<\/a>.<\/p>\n

State law on DANCOs is listed under Minnesota Statute 629.75<\/a>.<\/p>\n

State law on OFPs is listed under Minnesota Statute 518B.01<\/a>.<\/p>\n

General information is posted by the Minnesota Judicial Branch<\/a>.<\/p>\n

As with all criminal cases, charges are allegations.<\/em><\/p>\n
