BLAKESBURG – A Blakesburg man is behind bars after authorities say he violated a protection order multiple times in the city of Fairfield last week.

According to court records, officers with the Fairfield Police Department received a report that 33-year-old Dakoda Kendon Flinn had arrived at the residence of an individual with a protection order at around 6:04pm last Thursday (November 6). Flinn had reportedly damaged some items outside of the residence, which was located in the 1000 block of North 8th Street, and he fled the scene on foot before authorities arrived. A search for Flinn at that time did not yield any results.

Approximately one hour later, the victim once again contacted the police, saying that Flinn had returned to the scene and was observed near her vehicle. This time, Flinn allegedly stole the victim’s daughter’s bicycle before fleeing the scene; however, he was eventually located in a nearby field. In the criminal complaint, Flinn is accused of threatening to burn down the victim’s house with her inside.

Court documents indicate that the no-contact order between Flinn and the victim was issued on June 9 of this year.

As a result of these incidents, Flinn now faces several misdemeanor charges, including 1st Degree Harassment, an aggravated misdemeanor; two counts of Violation of a No Contact/Protective Order, a simple misdemeanor; and 5th Degree Criminal Mischief, a simple misdemeanor. He was taken into custody and transported to the Jefferson County Correctional Facility on a $2,000 cash-only bond.
