Police say the protected person was inside the home.<\/p>\n<p>The other man at the home told police Nomeland had been there. Police say they searched the property for him.<\/p>\n<p>Police reported finding Nomeland in a garage. The complaint says he was hiding behind a car. He was arrested without further incident.<\/p>\n<h2>Order details and past cases<\/h2>\n<p>Court records in the complaint say the DANCO was ordered on Jan. 27. The complaint says Nomeland learned about the order at a sentencing hearing the day before.<\/p>\n<p>Prosecutors allege he still went to the home afterward. Police say they knew he often visited the home.<\/p>\n<p>The complaint also notes earlier convictions. It says Nomeland was convicted on Jan. 26 of two gross misdemeanor domestic assault counts. Those convictions were tied to a 2025 court file.<\/p>\n<p>The complaint also references an April 2025 conviction for violating a harassment restraining order. The complaint does not clearly say who was protected then.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_3774\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-3774\" style=\"width: 225px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-3774\" src=\"https:\/\/trfnews.i234.me\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/NOMELAND-CHASE-DONALD-225x300.jpg\" alt=\"Chase Donald Nomeland\" width=\"225\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/trfnews.i234.me\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/NOMELAND-CHASE-DONALD-225x300.jpg 225w, https:\/\/trfnews.i234.me\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/NOMELAND-CHASE-DONALD.jpg 240w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 225px) 100vw, 225px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-3774\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Chase Donald Nomeland<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h2>What does DANCO means<\/h2>\n<p>A DANCO is a Domestic Abuse No Contact Order.
