What Minnesota Law Says<\/h2>\n

Minnesota Statute 609.748<\/a> covers harassment, restraining orders, and alleged violations.<\/p>\n

A basic violation is normally treated as a misdemeanor.<\/p>\n

The cited subsection raises the offense to a gross misdemeanor under certain circumstances.<\/p>\n

It generally applies when a qualifying prior offense occurred within the previous ten years.<\/p>\n

The supplied record does not identify the earlier case referenced by the charge.<\/p>\n

Minnesota law also states that violating a harassment restraining order can constitute contempt of court.<\/p>\n

Possible Maximum Penalty<\/h2>\n

A gross misdemeanor can bring up to 364 days in jail.<\/p>\n

It can also bring a fine of up to $3,000.<\/p>\n

A judge may impose jail time, a fine, or both.<\/p>\n

Those are maximum penalties and do not predict this case\u2019s outcome.<\/p>\n

Court and Jail Information<\/h2>\n

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

Polk County District Court<\/a> is also located in Crookston.<\/p>\n

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

Charge Remains an Allegation<\/h2>\n

A jail booking document includes custody and the charge listed at that time.<\/p>\n

It does not establish that Mooney violated a court order.<\/p>\n

Mooney is presumed innocent unless the allegation is proven in court.<\/p>\n
