Cass Lake Man Booked on Protection Order Charge<\/h2>\n

CASS LAKE<\/strong> (trfnews.i234.me<\/a>) \u2014 Justin Michael Smith, 36, was booked into the Cass County Jail on Tuesday.<\/p>\n

The booking occurred at 5:46 p.m. on June 23, 2026. Smith is listed as a Cass Lake resident.<\/p>\n

The official jail register lists one misdemeanor allegation. It identifies the charge as violating an order for protection.<\/p>\n

Charge Listed in Jail Record<\/h2>\n

The listed charge falls under Minnesota Statute 518B.01, subdivision 14(b). That section covers alleged violations of court-issued protection orders.<\/p>\n

Readers can review the law through the Minnesota Revisor of Statutes<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The jail entry classifies the case as an adult arrest. It does not provide a detailed account of the alleged incident.<\/p>\n

What an Order for Protection Does<\/h2>\n

An order for protection is issued by a court in domestic abuse cases. It may set limits on contact or conduct.<\/p>\n

An alleged violation can lead to arrest and a separate criminal case. The exact order terms were not included in the jail listing.<\/p>\n

The roster did not list a court date, bond amount, or attorney information. Those details may appear in later court records.<\/p>\n

Booking Information Remains Public<\/h2>\n

The Cass County jail register<\/a> showed Smith in custody when the report was published.<\/p>\n

Jail rosters can change after court hearings, bail decisions, transfers, or release orders. The public record may be updated without notice.<\/p>\n

The Cass County Detention Center<\/a> provides information about jail operations and inmate services.<\/p>\n

Charge Is an Allegation<\/h2>\n

A jail booking does not prove guilt. Smith is presumed innocent unless proven guilty in court.<\/p>\n

No conviction was reported in the jail entry. Court records may provide later updates about hearings or case status.<\/p>\n

This report is based on public booking information. It does not include claims beyond the official jail listing.<\/p>\n
