Cory Will Hanson, 35, is charged in Polk County District Court with pattern of stalking conduct. He also faces a misdemeanor charge of obstructing the legal process.<\/p>\n
The felony charge carries a maximum sentence of 10 years in prison. It also carries a possible $20,000 fine.<\/p>\n
Complaint Details Repeated Contact<\/h2>\n
According to the criminal complaint, the alleged conduct happened between June 14 and July 15, 2026.<\/p>\n
Prosecutors allege Hanson repeatedly contacted or approached two family members despite warnings and court restrictions.<\/p>\n
The complaint says Hanson had been barred from two East Grand Forks homes. One belonged to his father, and the other belonged to his mother.<\/p>\n
Authorities also allege Hanson violated a domestic violence no-contact order. That order protected his father and another person.<\/p>\n
The order reportedly required Hanson to remain at least 300 feet from his father\u2019s home.<\/p>\n
