BEMIDJI, Beltrami County<\/strong> (trfnews.i234.me<\/a>) \u2014 A 41-year-old Bemidji man faces two harassment charges involving alleged threats, unwanted visits, and repeated messages to his former girlfriend.<\/p>\n

Casey James Anderson, 41, of Bemidji<\/strong>, was charged with two gross misdemeanors in Beltrami County District Court.<\/p>\n

Prosecutors allege the incidents occurred between June 13 and November 7, 2026.<\/p>\n

The criminal complaint details several reports made to the Bemidji Police Department.<\/p>\n

Woman Reports Vehicle Incident and Threats<\/h2>\n

According to court documents, Anderson’s former girlfriend contacted police on June 13, 2026.<\/p>\n

She reported that Anderson had driven his black Dodge Charger into a utility pole near her home.<\/p>\n

She also alleged that Anderson threatened to drive his vehicle into her garage.<\/p>\n

Responding officers observed tire tracks in the grass and damage to several utility boxes.<\/p>\n

Two days later, the woman reported receiving repeated unwanted text messages.<\/p>\n

She told police Anderson continued contacting her through WhatsApp using new phone numbers after she blocked him.<\/p>\n

Police Called After Window Incident<\/h2>\n

On August 26, the woman reported another incident at her residence.<\/p>\n

She alleged Anderson arrived at her home and began banging on the windows.<\/p>\n

According to the complaint, he forcefully opened a window and yelled insults at her.<\/p>\n

The woman told investigators she feared Anderson might assault her.<\/p>\n

Anderson reportedly admitted banging on the window but claimed he only wanted to speak with her.<\/p>\n

Threatening Messages Alleged in November<\/h2>\n

On November 6, the woman contacted police again about alleged threatening messages.<\/p>\n

The complaint states Anderson allegedly warned that he would find her before law enforcement did.<\/p>\n

She reported receiving daily messages and repeated unwanted visits.<\/p>\n

Investigators also reviewed a separate court case involving Anderson.<\/p>\n

They reported that his release conditions prohibited contact with the woman.<\/p>\n

Police Find Anderson at Residence<\/h2>\n

On November 7, the woman reported Anderson was outside her home banging on the door.<\/p>\n

She feared he was attempting to enter the residence.<\/p>\n

When officers arrived, they reportedly observed Anderson leaving her garage.<\/p>\n

Anderson acknowledged repeated contact but described the communication as consensual, according to the complaint.<\/p>\n

The woman disputed that account and reported receiving messages throughout the night.<\/p>\n

Two Gross Misdemeanor Charges Filed<\/h2>\n

Prosecutors charged Anderson with two counts of harassment under Minnesota Statute 609.749<\/a>.<\/p>\n

One count concerns allegedly returning to another person’s property without permission.<\/p>\n

The second involves repeated telephone calls and text messages.<\/p>\n

Each charge carries a maximum penalty of 364 days in jail, a $3,000 fine, or both.<\/p>\n

The case is filed under number 04-CR-26-2823<\/strong> in Minnesota’s Ninth Judicial District.<\/p>\n

Readers can search the case through Minnesota Court Records Online<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The criminal complaint contains allegations, not findings of guilt.<\/p>\n

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