The charges include trespassing, fourth-degree damage to property, and two counts of harassment.<\/p>\n<h2>Woman Reports Finding Estranged Husband Inside Home<\/h2>\n<p>Police received a burglary report on September 3, according to the criminal complaint.<\/p>\n<p>The exact location of the reported incident was not provided.<\/p>\n<p>Dyrdahl&#8217;s estranged wife told investigators she awoke to barking dogs and saw him standing in her bedroom doorway.<\/p>\n<p>She asked him to leave but allowed him to use the bathroom after he requested permission.<\/p>\n<p>The woman reported that Dyrdahl appeared intoxicated. He allegedly claimed their marriage gave him the right to remain.<\/p>\n<p>After Dyrdahl left, she discovered a damaged opening mechanism on her patio door.<\/p>\n<p>Her dogs also escaped through an open fence gate, prompting her to review security camera footage.<\/p>\n<h2>Security Footage Shows Alleged Early Morning Entry<\/h2>\n<p>According to the complaint, the woman reviewed footage showing Dyrdahl arriving around 5:30 a.m.<\/p>\n<p>He allegedly parked near the end of her driveway, knocked down a camera, and entered through a gate.<\/p>\n<p>The gate was left open, allowing her dogs to escape.<\/p>\n<p>The woman reported finding Dyrdahl inside her residence around 6:20 a.m.<\/p>\n<p>A neighbor later reported seeing someone on a trail camera at approximately 3:19 a.m.<\/p>\n<p>The neighbor believed the person might have been Dyrdahl. The supplied complaint summary does not confirm that identification.<\/p>\n<h2>Repeated Phone Calls Lead to Harassment Allegations<\/h2>\n<p>Investigators spoke with the woman again nine days after the initial report.<\/p>\n<p>She described receiving numerous calls and emails from Dyrdahl despite telling him to stop contacting her.<\/p>\n<p>The woman blocked his phone number, but calls allegedly continued from a withheld number.<\/p>\n<p>According to the complaint, Dyrdahl left four voicemails on September 9 between 6:15 and 6:34 a.m.<\/p>\n<p>Another message arrived around 6:54 p.m. that evening.<\/p>\n<p>A sixth voicemail was reportedly left September 10 at approximately 4:19 a.m.<\/p>\n<p>The complaint described repeated sexually explicit requests in the messages.<\/p>\n<h2>Investigators Document Additional Property Damage<\/h2>\n<p>Investigators also observed signs of possible tampering around the home&#8217;s basement windows.<\/p>\n<p>A window screen with a bent locking mechanism was found on the ground.<\/p>\n<p>A log had also been placed near a chain-link fence.<\/p>\n<p>These observations were included in the criminal complaint as part of the investigation.<\/p>\n<h2>Previous Conviction and Pending Charges<\/h2>\n<p>The complaint referenced Dyrdahl&#8217;s January 2007 misdemeanor domestic assault conviction in Polk County.<\/p>\n<p>However, the report does not establish whether his estranged wife was involved in that earlier case.<\/p>\n<p>Additional information about the current allegations is available under Minnesota&#8217;s <a href=\"https:\/\/www.revisor.mn.gov\/statutes\/cite\/609.605\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">trespassing law<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.revisor.mn.gov\/statutes\/cite\/609.595\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">property damage law<\/a>, and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.revisor.mn.gov\/statutes\/cite\/609.749\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">harassment law<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>The supplied report does not identify a scheduled court date or final outcome.<\/p>\n<p>Readers can search <a href=\"https:\/\/publicaccess.courts.state.mn.us\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Minnesota Court Records Online<\/a> for publicly available case information.<\/p>\n<p>The charges remain allegations.
