The booking information cites Minnesota Statute 609.49, subdivision 1.<\/p>\n<h2>Booking Lists Failure to Appear<\/h2>\n<p>The listed offense applies to certain people charged with or convicted of a felony. It concerns a required court appearance after release from custody.<\/p>\n<p>The law says the failure must be intentional and follow proper notice.

The maximum may reach half the penalty allowed for that offense.<\/p>\n<p>The authorized maximum cannot fall below one year and one day. A fine of at least $1,500 may also apply.<\/p>\n<p>Any punishment would require a conviction and a court decision. The booking entry alone does not establish those facts.<\/p>\n<h2>Case Details Remain Limited<\/h2>\n<p>The provided booking entry did not list a court file number. It also did not include bond details or a hearing date.<\/p>\n<p>Jail rosters are administrative records with brief descriptions. They often use shortened charge labels and provide limited case details.<\/p>\n<p>The entry identifies the matter as felony-level. It does not explain the felony connected to the alleged missed appearance.<\/p>\n<p>Public jail listings can change as cases move through court. Custody information may also change after hearings or release decisions.<\/p>\n<p>Readers can review the regional <a href=\"https:\/\/www.communitycorrections-tccc.org\/index.asp?SEC=7AA2A95C-63E9-415B-9B67-C9E68D3D1F20&amp;Type=B_BASIC\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Tri-County Community Corrections inmate roster<\/a>.

It does not prove guilt or establish a conviction.<\/p>\n<p>Bloom is presumed innocent unless proven guilty in court. Any charge may be changed, dismissed, or resolved later.<\/p>\n<p>TRF News will update this report when verified court records provide more information.
