What Minnesota Law Says<\/h2>\n

Minnesota Statute 609.49<\/a> addresses release and failure to appear.<\/p>\n

Subdivision 2 applies to people charged with gross misdemeanors or misdemeanors.<\/p>\n

The law covers an intentional failure to appear for trial.<\/p>\n

The person must have received notice or a release condition requiring an appearance.<\/p>\n

A violation under this subdivision is a misdemeanor.<\/p>\n

The statute also provides a possible defense.<\/p>\n

Circumstances beyond a person\u2019s control may support that defense.<\/p>\n

The booking entry does not explain the facts behind the allegation.<\/p>\n

A criminal complaint may provide more detail.<\/p>\n

Court records may also identify the underlying case.<\/p>\n

They may list future hearings and release conditions.<\/p>\n

Booking Is Not Proof of Guilt<\/h2>\n

A jail booking records a person\u2019s entry into custody.<\/p>\n

It does not prove that a crime occurred.<\/p>\n

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

Prosecutors may change or dismiss allegations after reviewing the case.<\/p>\n

Court dates and custody status can change.<\/p>\n

Readers should use official records for the latest information.<\/p>\n

The Northwest Regional Corrections Center<\/a> is located in Crookston.<\/p>\n

County information is available through the Polk County Sheriff\u2019s Office<\/a>.<\/p>\n

TRF News will update this report when verified court information becomes available.<\/p>\n
