Bemidji Man Booked on Assault, Fleeing Charges<\/h2>\n

Bemidji<\/strong> (trfnews.i234.me<\/a>) \u2014 Lorenzo Dean Valencia, 37, was booked into the Cass County Jail early Wednesday.<\/p>\n

The booking time was listed as 1:04 a.m. on July 15, 2026.<\/p>\n

Valencia is from Bemidji, according to the jail information provided to TRF News.<\/p>\n

The booking record lists three alleged offenses involving fleeing, domestic assault, and a court protection order.<\/p>\n

All charges are allegations. Valencia is presumed innocent unless proven guilty in court.<\/p>\n

Felony Fleeing Allegation<\/h2>\n

The first count alleges fleeing a peace officer in a motor vehicle.<\/p>\n

The charge is listed under Minnesota Statute 609.487<\/a>, subdivision 3.<\/p>\n

That law covers certain cases involving drivers who allegedly flee officers using a motor vehicle.<\/p>\n

The booking information does not describe the pursuit or identify the location.<\/p>\n

It also does not state whether anyone was hurt or whether property was damaged.<\/p>\n

Felony Domestic Assault Charge<\/h2>\n

The second count alleges felony domestic assault.<\/p>\n

The charge is listed under Minnesota Statute 609.2242<\/a>, subdivision 4.<\/p>\n

The booking record does not provide details about the alleged victim or incident.<\/p>\n

It also does not list the date or location of the alleged assault.<\/p>\n

No police officer names are included in this report.<\/p>\n

No-Contact Order Violation Alleged<\/h2>\n

The third count alleges a domestic abuse no-contact order violation.<\/p>\n

The record says the alleged violation followed a previous conviction within ten years.<\/p>\n

That charge is listed under Minnesota Statute 629.75<\/a>, subdivision 2(c).<\/p>\n

A domestic abuse no-contact order can restrict contact during a criminal case.<\/p>\n

The exact terms of the order were not included in the booking information.<\/p>\n

Case Status Could Change<\/h2>\n

The record identifies each listed offense as an adult arrest.<\/p>\n

It does not include a court date, bail amount, or estimated release date.<\/p>\n

Those details may change after Valencia appears before a judge.<\/p>\n

Charges can also be amended or dismissed as a case moves through court.<\/p>\n

Readers can review public case information through Minnesota Court Records Online<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Court records should be checked for the latest hearing dates and case status.<\/p>\n
