County Jail on Wednesday, October 14, 2026.<\/p>\n<p>The official Clay County inmate roster records his booking at 1:48 p.m.<\/p>\n<p>The Glyndon Police Department is identified as the arresting agency.<\/p>\n<p>The jail record lists one allegation involving a domestic abuse no-contact order violation.<\/p>\n<p>The allegation references two or more qualifying previous convictions within a ten-year period.<\/p>\n<h2>Repeat DANCO Violation Allegation<\/h2>\n<p>According to the booking record, Paul is listed under &#8220;DANCO Violation w\/n 10 yrs of 2 or more Convictions.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>DANCO stands for Domestic Abuse No Contact Order.<\/p>\n<p>These orders are issued by courts in certain criminal proceedings involving domestic abuse or related offenses.<\/p>\n<p>A DANCO can restrict contact with a protected person.<\/p>\n<p>It may also prohibit specific actions while a criminal case or probationary period continues.<\/p>\n<p>However, the jail listing does not identify the particular order Paul allegedly violated.<\/p>\n<p>It also does not describe the reported contact or actions involved.<\/p>\n<p>No information about the protected person appears in the supplied record.<\/p>\n<h2>What Minnesota Law Says About DANCO Violations<\/h2>\n<p>Minnesota Statute 629.75 establishes rules and penalties for violating domestic abuse no-contact orders.<\/p>\n<p>Subdivision 2(d) addresses certain violations involving two or more qualifying previous domestic violence-related offenses.<\/p>\n<p>Those prior offenses must meet the conditions and timing requirements established under state law.<\/p>\n<p>Under this provision, a qualifying repeat violation is classified as a felony.<\/p>\n<p>However, the jail record does not identify the previous convictions referenced in Paul&#8217;s allegation.<\/p>\n<p>It also does not include case numbers or dates for those convictions.<\/p>\n<p>Readers can review <a
