Domestic Assault Charges<\/h2>\n

That charge is listed under Minnesota Statute 609.2247, subdivision 2.<\/p>\n

The law defines strangulation as intentionally blocking normal breathing or blood circulation.<\/p>\n

The alleged action may involve pressure against the neck or throat. It may also involve blocking someone\u2019s nose or mouth.<\/p>\n

A third charge alleges misdemeanor domestic assault. The jail record lists Minnesota Statute 609.2242, subdivision 1(1).<\/p>\n

That charge involves an alleged act intended to cause fear of immediate bodily harm or death.<\/p>\n

Case Details Remain Limited<\/h2>\n

The booking record does not provide court dates, bail information, or release conditions.<\/p>\n

It also does not explain how the three allegations are connected.<\/p>\n

The Otter Tail County Jail<\/a> is located in Fergus Falls.<\/p>\n

Readers may search Minnesota Court Records Online<\/a> for future public filings.<\/p>\n

A jail booking is not a finding of guilt. All charges remain allegations unless proven in court.<\/p>\n

Laws is presumed innocent unless she is convicted through the legal process.<\/p>\n
