Crookston Booking in Failure-to-Appear Case<\/h2>\n

CROOKSTON<\/strong> (trfnews.i234.me<\/a>) \u2014 Cohen James Curfman was booked into the Polk County Jail on June 26, 2026.<\/p>\n

Curfman was 34 years old at the time of booking.<\/p>\n

The booking record lists a failure-to-appear charge under Minnesota Statute 609.49, subdivision 2.<\/p>\n

The record describes the earlier matter as a gross misdemeanor or misdemeanor case.<\/p>\n

It does not identify the charge connected to that earlier case.<\/p>\n

Booking Information<\/h2>\n

The jail entry does not explain why Curfman allegedly failed to appear.<\/p>\n

It also does not list the date of the missed court appearance.<\/p>\n

No bond amount or future court date appeared in the information provided.<\/p>\n

Those details may become available through later court filings.<\/p>\n

The entry only shows that Curfman entered jail custody.<\/p>\n

It does not show the final result of the charge.<\/p>\n

What Minnesota Law Says<\/h2>\n

Minnesota law covers certain people released after a misdemeanor or gross misdemeanor charge.<\/p>\n

Subdivision 2 applies when someone intentionally fails to appear for trial.<\/p>\n

The person must have received notice that missing court could become a criminal offense.<\/p>\n

The law also applies when release conditions require a personal court appearance.<\/p>\n

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

The law also provides a possible defense for circumstances beyond the person\u2019s control.<\/p>\n

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

Case Remains Pending<\/h2>\n

A jail booking is not proof that a person committed a crime.<\/p>\n

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

Prosecutors must support the charge with evidence.<\/p>\n

A judge may later decide release terms and future hearing dates.<\/p>\n

The available record does not identify any police officers.<\/p>\n

It also does not provide an arrest location or incident report.<\/p>\n

Polk County lists its sheriff and jail services in Crookston.<\/p>\n

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

Further updates may follow when verified court records become public.<\/p>\n
