Brainerd (trfnews.i234.me)<\/a> \u2013 Nicholas James Houle, 41, was booked into Crow Wing County Jail on Sunday, October 25, 2026.<\/p>\n

The official jail roster records his booking at 11:52 p.m.<\/p>\n

His booking number is 69275.<\/p>\n

The record lists two felony-classified probation matters involving threats of violence and third-degree assault.<\/p>\n

Both entries cite Minnesota Statute 609.14 and display the custody status “REMANDED.”<\/p>\n

Threats of Violence Probation Matter<\/h2>\n

The first entry is described as “Threats of Violence – PV.”<\/p>\n

The abbreviation “PV” refers to a probation violation matter.<\/p>\n

However, the jail record does not identify the conditions Houle allegedly violated.<\/p>\n

It also does not describe a new threat or identify anyone reportedly threatened.<\/p>\n

The entry references a threats of violence matter but does not establish another criminal offense.<\/p>\n

No original case number or detailed court order appears in the listing.<\/p>\n

Third-Degree Assault Probation Entry<\/h2>\n

The second entry is described as “Assault-3rd Degree-Substantial Bodily Harm-PV.”<\/p>\n

This description connects the probation matter to a third-degree assault case involving substantial bodily harm.<\/p>\n

However, the booking does not describe the underlying assault.<\/p>\n

It also does not identify any injuries, alleged victim, or incident date.<\/p>\n

The listing does not establish that another assault occurred during October 2026.<\/p>\n

Additional court documents would be needed to explain the case’s history and alleged probation violation.<\/p>\n

What Minnesota Probation Law Says<\/h2>\n

Minnesota Statute 609.14 establishes procedures involving alleged probation violations and stayed sentences.<\/p>\n

Courts may review allegations that someone failed to follow conditions imposed in an earlier criminal case.<\/p>\n

Depending on the findings, a judge may continue probation or change its requirements.<\/p>\n

A court may also order a previously stayed sentence into effect when legally justified.<\/p>\n

However, revocation is not automatic after someone is booked into jail.<\/p>\n

State law requires notice of alleged violations and provides hearing rights when those allegations are disputed.<\/p>\n

Readers can review Minnesota Statute 609.14 \u2013 Revocation of Stay<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Both Entries Marked Remanded<\/h2>\n

The official Crow Wing County roster displays “REMANDED” for both probation-related entries.<\/p>\n

However, that designation does not independently establish the outcome of any probation revocation hearing.<\/p>\n

The booking record does not identify a sentence length or provide detailed judicial findings.<\/p>\n

It also does not confirm whether Houle was subsequently released or transferred.<\/p>\n

No New Assault or Threat Confirmed<\/h2>\n

Both entries concern probation matters rather than newly described criminal incidents.<\/p>\n

The roster does not identify any newly reported assault, threat, or investigation.<\/p>\n

It also does not establish whether the two probation matters involve separate underlying incidents.<\/p>\n

Readers should not interpret the two entries as proof of new criminal conduct.<\/p>\n

Incident Locations Not Confirmed<\/h2>\n

Crow Wing County Jail is located in Brainerd, Minnesota.<\/p>\n

However, the jail’s address does not establish where either underlying offense occurred.<\/p>\n

No confirmed incident address, residence, or other location appears in the available record.<\/p>\n

The October 25 booking date should not be treated as the date of a new assault or threat.<\/p>\n

Jail and Court Information<\/h2>\n

Readers can review the official Crow Wing County inmate roster<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Additional facility details are available through the Crow Wing County Jail website<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Public case information may be available through Minnesota Court Records Online<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Legal Status<\/h2>\n

The booking does not establish that Houle committed a new offense or that the alleged violations were proven.<\/p>\n

Any disputed probation allegations must be resolved through the applicable court process.<\/p>\n
