Fergus Falls: Jesse Colby Held on Two Charges<\/h2>\n

OTTER TAIL COUNTY<\/strong> (trfnews.i234.me<\/a>) \u2014 Jesse Michael Colby, 52, remained listed Friday in the Otter Tail County Jail.<\/p>\n

The jail is located in Fergus Falls.<\/p>\n

The county roster lists Colby under booking number 002600000382.<\/p>\n

His intake date was April 27, 2026.<\/p>\n

The roster lists two active charges. One charge is a felony. The second charge is a misdemeanor.<\/p>\n

Felony Restraining-Order Charge<\/h2>\n

The felony charge alleges a violation of a harassment restraining order.<\/p>\n

The roster cites Minnesota Statute 609.748, subdivision 6(d)(1)<\/a>.<\/p>\n

That provision applies after two or more prior qualified domestic violence-related convictions.<\/p>\n

The first prior conviction must have occurred within the previous ten years.<\/p>\n

State law allows up to five years in prison for a conviction.<\/p>\n

It also allows a fine of up to $10,000.<\/p>\n

A court may impose either penalty or both penalties.<\/p>\n

The roster does not describe the alleged restraining-order violation.<\/p>\n

It also does not identify the person protected by the order.<\/p>\n

Misdemeanor Obstruction Charge<\/h2>\n

Colby also faces a misdemeanor obstruction charge.<\/p>\n

The roster cites Minnesota Statute 609.50, subdivision 1(1)<\/a>.<\/p>\n

That section covers intentionally blocking or delaying the lawful execution of a legal process.<\/p>\n

The public entry does not explain what legal process was involved.<\/p>\n

It also does not describe Colby\u2019s alleged actions.<\/p>\n

No police officer names are included in this report.<\/p>\n

Bond Listed in Custody Record<\/h2>\n

The roster lists bond at $100,000 without conditions.<\/p>\n

It also lists a bond of $50,000 with conditions.<\/p>\n

The custody record does not show a projected release date.<\/p>\n

Bond terms and custody status can change after hearings or court orders.<\/p>\n

Readers can review the Otter Tail County custody list<\/a> online.<\/p>\n

Public case information may appear through Minnesota Court Records Online<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The jail roster is not a full police report.<\/p>\n

It does not include all evidence, reports, or witness accounts.<\/p>\n

A booking record shows custody status and listed allegations.<\/p>\n

It does not establish guilt.<\/p>\n

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