Crookston<\/strong> (trfnews.i234.me<\/a>) \u2014 Patrick Lee Richardson was booked into custody on August 19, 2026.<\/p>\n

The booking information lists a misdemeanor domestic abuse no-contact order violation.<\/p>\n

Richardson’s date of birth is listed as March 11, 1954.<\/p>\n

The listed charge cites Minnesota Statute 629.75, subdivision 2(b).<\/p>\n

No-contact order violation alleged<\/h2>\n

The charge alleges Richardson violated a domestic abuse no-contact order.<\/p>\n

Minnesota courts can issue these orders in certain criminal or juvenile proceedings.<\/p>\n

An order can restrict a defendant from contacting another person.<\/p>\n

It can also remain in place during a criminal case or after a conviction.<\/p>\n

Under subdivision 2(b), knowingly violating such an order is generally a misdemeanor.<\/p>\n

Readers can review Minnesota Statute 629.75<\/a> through the Minnesota Revisor of Statutes.<\/p>\n

The statute contains stronger penalties under certain circumstances.<\/p>\n

However, Richardson’s supplied booking record lists the current charge as a misdemeanor.<\/p>\n

Booking record provides limited details<\/h2>\n

The jail information does not describe the alleged contact that led to the charge.<\/p>\n

It does not identify another person connected to the order.<\/p>\n

The record also does not state when the alleged violation occurred.<\/p>\n

No court file number was included in the information provided for this report.<\/p>\n

The booking record does not list a hearing date or release conditions.<\/p>\n

More information may become available through future court filings.<\/p>\n

Recently booked in Crookston<\/h2>\n

Richardson was listed as recently booked in the Polk County regional corrections system.<\/p>\n

The Northwest Regional Corrections Center is located at 816 Marin Avenue in Crookston.<\/p>\n

Readers can visit the Northwest Regional Corrections Center website<\/a> for facility information.<\/p>\n

Public custody information can change as cases move through the court system.<\/p>\n

Charges can also be amended, dismissed, or resolved through later court proceedings.<\/p>\n

A jail booking does not establish that a person committed the alleged offense.<\/p>\n

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

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