The Crow Wing County Judicial Center is off Laurel Street in Brainerd.
A 33-year-old man who has a domestic violence history faces more charges after getting into a fight with a woman and then not allowing her to call for help.
Jake Francis Hines was charged Dec. 14 in Crow Wing County District Court with felony domestic assault and two gross misdemeanors of endangering children and interrupting an emergency call.
According to the probable cause document filed against Hines, Brainerd police officers were called at 6:08 a.m. Dec. 11 to conduct a welfare check at a residence on Second Avenue Northeast in Brainerd. The complainant requested a welfare check on her coworker as she was supposed to be at work in Crosby, but she was not present. The complainant reported it was unusual for her to be late to work or not call in.
