Crookston Books Michael Deegan for Failure to Appear<\/h2>\n

CROOKSTON<\/strong> (trfnews.i234.me<\/a>) \u2014 Michael James Deegan was booked into the Northwest Regional Corrections Center on July 25, 2026.<\/p>\n

The jail roster lists a misdemeanor failure-to-appear charge.<\/p>\n

It cites Minnesota Statute 609.49, subdivision 2.<\/p>\n

Deegan was 36 years old when the booking occurred.<\/p>\n

His listed birth date is September 11, 1989.<\/p>\n

Roster Lists Failure-to-Appear Charge<\/h2>\n

The roster does not identify the underlying criminal case.<\/p>\n

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

Minnesota law addresses missed appearances involving misdemeanor and gross misdemeanor cases.<\/p>\n

The law applies when someone intentionally misses a required trial appearance.<\/p>\n

The person must receive proper notice about the appearance requirement.<\/p>\n

A release order can also require the person to appear for trial.<\/p>\n

A knowing violation can result in a misdemeanor charge.<\/p>\n

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

Booking Record Provides Limited Details<\/h2>\n

The booking record provides only a short charge description.<\/p>\n

It does not explain why Deegan allegedly missed court.<\/p>\n

It also does not provide a court file number.<\/p>\n

Bond information was not included in the listed entry.<\/p>\n

The Northwest Regional Corrections Center is located in Crookston.<\/p>\n

The facility serves Polk, Norman, and Red Lake counties.<\/p>\n

Its online roster contains basic custody information.<\/p>\n

The roster can change after hearings, releases, or charge updates.<\/p>\n

Readers can review the official jail roster<\/a> for later updates.<\/p>\n

Court Records May Provide Updates<\/h2>\n

Public court records may provide more information about the case.<\/p>\n

Minnesota Court Records Online<\/a> allows searches for certain public filings.<\/p>\n

Some documents may not appear online.<\/p>\n

Court staff may provide other public records when allowed by law.<\/p>\n

Future filings may identify the underlying case.<\/p>\n

They may also list hearing dates and release conditions.<\/p>\n

Booking Does Not Prove Guilt<\/h2>\n

A jail booking records a person\u2019s entry into custody.<\/p>\n

It does not prove that the listed offense occurred.<\/p>\n

The charge against Deegan remains an allegation.<\/p>\n

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

Prosecutors must prove every required part of the charge.<\/p>\n

Deegan may present any defense allowed under Minnesota law.<\/p>\n

The statute recognizes a possible defense involving circumstances beyond someone\u2019s control.<\/p>\n

That defense must be established during the court process.<\/p>\n

TRF News will update this report when verified public records provide new information.<\/p>\n
