BRAINERD, MN<\/strong> \u2013 (trfnews.i234.me)<\/a> \u2013 A Brainerd man faces a felony harassment charge after allegedly tracking a former intimate partner’s movements around the city.<\/p>\n

Dyllan Michael Jenniges, 32, of Brainerd<\/strong>, is accused of repeatedly locating a woman despite her efforts to avoid him.<\/p>\n

According to a Crow Wing County criminal complaint, the woman told investigators she feared being followed wherever she went.<\/p>\n

The charge carries a maximum possible sentence of 10 years in prison and a $20,000 fine<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Police Investigate Reports of Location Tracking<\/h2>\n

The investigation developed November 3, 2026, when Jenniges contacted authorities around 8:27 p.m.<\/p>\n

He reported a possible order for protection violation involving two people at a Brainerd storage facility.<\/p>\n

Deputies responded and found the individuals together inside a vehicle.<\/p>\n

After confirming an active protection order, deputies arrested one individual and transported the woman home.<\/p>\n

Investigators later reviewed previous police calls involving Jenniges and the woman.<\/p>\n

The records showed a disturbance earlier that morning and additional reports during October.<\/p>\n

Brainerd police also informed deputies about concerns that Jenniges had been monitoring the woman’s movements.<\/p>\n

Woman Says She Was Found Repeatedly Around Town<\/h2>\n

During an interview, the woman told investigators she previously shared her phone’s location with Jenniges.<\/p>\n

She said the sharing occurred through iPhone messaging and Snapchat during their intimate relationship.<\/p>\n

However, she reportedly removed his location access following their November 3 disturbance.<\/p>\n

Despite that change, she believed Jenniges continued finding her through Apple’s Find My service.<\/p>\n

She reported several encounters in areas where Jenniges would not normally travel.<\/p>\n

The woman also claimed she had changed her driving routes, yet Jenniges still appeared to locate her.<\/p>\n

According to the complaint, these encounters caused her substantial concern about her safety.<\/p>\n

Deputies Investigate Alleged Late-Night Encounter<\/h2>\n

At approximately 10:58 p.m., deputies spoke with the woman again.<\/p>\n

She reported seeing Jenniges drive past her parents’ home about 15 minutes earlier.<\/p>\n

The woman told investigators she worried about going outside without having to look over her shoulder.<\/p>\n

Deputies later reviewed thermal imagery showing heat coming from the engine compartment of Jenniges’ truck.<\/p>\n

Investigators considered the observation consistent with the vehicle having been driven recently.<\/p>\n

However, the complaint does not establish that the image independently confirmed where the truck had traveled.<\/p>\n

Suspect Allegedly Admits Using Snapchat<\/h2>\n

Deputies subsequently contacted Jenniges at his Brainerd apartment.<\/p>\n

During questioning, Jenniges disputed portions of the woman’s account.<\/p>\n

However, the complaint states he admitted using Snapchat to track her location.<\/p>\n

Deputies then placed Jenniges under arrest.<\/p>\n

Previous Convictions Cited in Felony Charge<\/h2>\n

Prosecutors cite two third-degree criminal sexual conduct convictions from 2018 as qualifying prior domestic violence-related offenses.<\/p>\n

Those convictions are identified in the complaint as grounds for the enhanced felony harassment charge.<\/p>\n

Jenniges is charged under Minnesota Statute 609.749, Subdivision 4(b)<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The charge carries a maximum penalty of 10 years imprisonment, a $20,000 fine, or both.<\/p>\n

The case is filed in Crow Wing County District Court under 18-CR-26-4113<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Additional case information is available through Minnesota Court Records Online<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The allegations in this case have not been proven in court. Jenniges is presumed innocent unless proven guilty.<\/em><\/p>\n
