Fergus Falls Man Booked on Assault, Child Charge<\/h2>\n

OTTER TAIL COUNTY<\/strong> (trfnews.i234.me<\/a>) \u2014 A 47-year-old man was recently booked into the Otter Tail County Jail.<\/p>\n

Jail records identify the man as John Jason Ressler. He was booked on Thursday, July 23, 2026.<\/p>\n

Ressler remained listed as an active inmate when the booking information was released.<\/p>\n

Two Charges Listed<\/h2>\n

The jail record lists one misdemeanor domestic assault charge.<\/p>\n

The allegation involves intentionally inflicting or attempting to inflict bodily harm upon another person.<\/p>\n

The charge was filed under Minnesota Statute 609.2242, subdivision 1(2).<\/p>\n

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

The booking record also lists a gross misdemeanor child endangerment charge.<\/p>\n

That allegation concerns conduct that could endanger a child\u2019s person or health.<\/p>\n

The charge was filed under Minnesota Statute 609.378, subdivision 1(b).<\/p>\n

The full statute is available from the Minnesota Legislature\u2019s official statute website<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Case Remains Pending<\/h2>\n

The limited booking entry did not provide details about the reported incident.<\/p>\n

It also did not list a court date, bail amount, or conditions of release.<\/p>\n

The charges are allegations and do not prove guilt.<\/p>\n

Ressler is presumed innocent unless proven guilty through the court process.<\/p>\n

Booking information can change after a court hearing or release decision.<\/p>\n

The public can check the Otter Tail County Jail in-custody list<\/a> for current custody information.<\/p>\n

Court records may later provide more details about the allegations and future hearings.<\/p>\n
