District Court
Kandiyohi County
WILLMAR - A 57-year-old Willmar man made his first appearance Tuesday on a felony charge of violating a domestic abuse no contact order.
Todd Merrill Steffen was reportedly released on his own recognize Tuesday and will make his next court appearance July 20.
According to the criminal complaint on the charge, Kandiyohi County Sheriff’s deputies were dispatched Saturday night to a Raymond residence, where they spotted Steffen allegedly sitting outside of the residence by a bonfire.
Law enforcement allegedly spoke with a woman at the residence who said someone had invited Steffen to the residence and he had been there most of the day. While she said she was not concerned about him earlier, she said she became fearful after he started to drink.
Law enforcement confirmed that Steffen is currently prohibited to have no contact with the woman by order of a domestic abuse no contact order.
During an interview with law enforcement, Steffen allegedly said he did not think an order for protection was still in place. He said he was at the residence to visit with his family members.
WILLMAR - Ruby Tello, 29, of Willmar pleaded guilty Monday to a felony charge of violating a no contact order and a gross misdemeanor charge of fifth-degree assault.
The charges stem from two separate incidents. The felony charge results from an incident occurring in May at the residence of her ex-boyfriend, who she is prohibited to have contact with by order of a domestic abuse no contact order.
The gross misdemeanor charge stems from an incident reported in January in which she allegedly scratched a man’s neck, causing it to bleed.
As a result of the plea agreement, a felony charge of domestic assault will be dismissed in this case upon sentencing Aug. 11.
