The jail is located in Fergus Falls.<\/p>\n<h2>Restraining Order Charge Listed<\/h2>\n<p>The roster lists one active gross misdemeanor charge under Minnesota Statute 609.748, subdivision 6(c).<\/p>\n<p>The entry alleges a harassment restraining order violation.

It classifies the alleged offense as a gross misdemeanor.<\/p>\n<p>The booking entry reflects that same charge level.<\/p>\n<p>The statute requires an arrest when probable cause exists. The restraining order must first be verified.<\/p>\n<h2>Few Incident Details Available<\/h2>\n<p>The custody roster does not list the alleged incident location. It does not name the arresting agency.<\/p>\n<p>No police officer names are included in this report. The roster also provides no case narrative.<\/p>\n<p>No bond amount appeared beside Strom\u2019s entry. That information could change as the case moves forward.<\/p>\n<p>Otter Tail County updates its <a href=\"https:\/\/ottertailcounty.gov\/public-safety-law\/detention\/jail-in-custody-list\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">online custody list<\/a> every two hours.<\/p>\n<p>The county warns that the roster may not always be complete. It should not replace official court records.<\/p>\n<p>Future case information may appear through <a href=\"https:\/\/publicaccess.courts.state.mn.us\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Minnesota Court Records Online<\/a>.<\/p>\n<h2>Charge Remains an Allegation<\/h2>\n<p>A jail booking does not prove guilt. The charge remains an allegation unless proven in court.<\/p>\n<p>Strom is presumed innocent unless a court finds her guilty. Her custody status may also change.<\/p>\n<p>This report reflects the county roster available on June 21, 2026.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;m Chris Harper reporting for <a href=\"https:\/\/trfnews.i234.me\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">TRF News<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Amanda Joy Strom, 38, was booked into the Otter Tail County Jail on an active gross misdemeanor restraining order violation charge.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":34102,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":"","_wpscp_schedule_draft_date":"","_wpscp_schedule_republish_date":"","_wpscppro_advance_schedule":false,"_wpscppro_advance_schedule_date":"","_wpscppro_dont_share_socialmedia":false,"_wpscppro_custom_social_share_image":0,"_facebook_share_type":"","_twitter_share_type":"","_linkedin_share_type":"","_pinterest_share_type":"","_linkedin_share_type_page":"","_instagram_share_type":"","_medium_share_type":"","_threads_share_type":"","_google_business_share_type":"","_selected_social_profile":[],"_wpsp_enable_custom_social_template":false,"_wpsp_social_scheduling":{"enabled":false,"datetime":null,"platforms":[],"status":"template_only","dateOption":"today","timeOption":"now","customDays":"","customHours":"","customDate":"","customTime":"","schedulingType":"absolute"},"_wpsp_active_default_template":true},"categories":[16518],"tags":[17733,7429,848,827,1375,3505,1703,11819,5295,19652],"class_list":["post-34101","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-recently-booked","tag-booked","tag-books","tag-charge","tag-falls","tag-fergus","tag-jail","tag-order","tag-recently","tag-restraining","tag-strom","entry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/trfnews.i234.me\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/34101","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/trfnews.i234.me\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/trfnews.i234.me\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/trfnews.i234.me\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/trfnews.i234.me\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=34101"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/trfnews.i234.me\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/34101\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":34103,"href":"https:\/\/trfnews.i234.me\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/34101\/revisions\/34103"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/trfnews.i234.me\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/34102"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/trfnews.i234.me\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=34101"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/trfnews.i234.me\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=34101"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/trfnews.i234.me\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=34101"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
