Those orders can apply before trial or after conviction.<\/p>\n<p>The law makes a knowing violation a criminal offense. Penalties depend on the case facts and a person\u2019s prior record.<\/p>\n<p>Subdivision 2(c) covers an alleged violation within ten years of a qualified domestic violence-related offense. The statute classifies that level as a gross misdemeanor.<\/p>\n<p>The full law is available through the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.revisor.mn.gov\/statutes\/cite\/629.75\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Minnesota Revisor of Statutes<\/a>.<\/p>\n<h2>Case Status<\/h2>\n<p>A booking record shows that a person entered jail custody. It does not prove that the person committed a crime.<\/p>\n<p>Bakken is presumed innocent unless proven guilty in court. Prosecutors must support any charge with evidence.<\/p>\n<p>The court will decide whether the charge moves forward. A judge may also address release terms and future hearing dates.<\/p>\n<p>No police officers&#8217; names were included in this report. No further details were provided in the booking information.<\/p>\n<p>Updates may follow when verified court information becomes public.
