Wadena<\/strong> (trfnews.i234.me<\/a>) \u2014 A Wadena man faces a felony charge after a text-to-911 call at a gas station.<\/p>\n

Text-to-911 call at Holiday station<\/h2>\n

Police in Wadena responded to a text-to-911 report about an argument at a Holiday Gas Station.<\/p>\n

Officers spoke with people at the scene, according to the criminal complaint.<\/p>\n

Police identified Nicholas Michael Hurtig<\/strong>, 32, of Wadena during the check.<\/p>\n

Investigators then reviewed his status in Minnesota\u2019s predatory offender registry, the complaint says.<\/p>\n

Police allege Hurtig was not following the required registration rules at that time.<\/p>\n

Authorities did not release more details about the argument in the text report.<\/p>\n

Felony charge filed<\/h2>\n

Hurtig is charged with one felony count of knowingly failing to fulfill registration requirements as a predatory offender.<\/p>\n

The charge is filed under Minnesota Statute 243.166<\/a>.<\/p>\n

In general, the law requires certain registrants to keep their address and contact details current.<\/p>\n

The rules can include notice before a move and notice after leaving an address.<\/p>\n

Prosecutors must prove the charge beyond a reasonable doubt.<\/p>\n

How the registry works<\/h2>\n

Minnesota uses the registry to help law enforcement track people who must register.<\/p>\n

The BCA Predatory Offender Registry page<\/a> explains the program and posts public information.<\/p>\n

The Department of Corrections assigns risk levels for some offenders and supports community notification.<\/p>\n

You can also visit the DOC public registrant search<\/a> for available lookups.<\/p>\n

Use official sources for information and avoid sharing unverified claims.<\/p>\n

What happens next<\/h2>\n

The case is being handled in Wadena County District Court<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Charging documents list allegations, but a charge is not a conviction.<\/p>\n

Hurtig is presumed innocent unless proven guilty in court.<\/p>\n

Court dates and filings can change as the case moves forward.<\/p>\n

Text-to-911 reminder<\/h2>\n

State officials say text-to-911 is for times when a voice call is not safe.<\/p>\n

Call if you can. Text if you can\u2019t.<\/p>\n

More guidance is posted by the Minnesota Department of Public Safety<\/a>.<\/p>\n
