Buena Vista County inmate charged with violating no-contact order after jail calls

A man already in custody at the Buena Vista County Jail was served additional misdemeanor charges after investigators allege he used the jail phone system to call protected parties and thereby violated no‑contact orders, local court filings and the police & courts column in the Storm, the short public summary of the case states.

A paywalled Storm Lake Times police & courts item described the subject as "A Sioux City man who was arrested for battering a Sioux City woman at an apartment complex in December" and said he "was served two additional misdemeanor charges for using a Buena Vista County Jail phone to call …" The Storm Lake Times issue metadata on the captured item is listed as Storm Lake Times Pilot 2-27-26 and the paper’s newsroom contact is shown as 220 W. Railroad St., P.O. Box 487, Storm Lake, IA 50588, phone 1-712-732-4991.

Buena Vista County Jail’s online roster shows multiple inmates with entries flagged "VIOL NO CONTACT ORDER-DOMESTIC 664A.7(5)." The roster page for Storm Lake, Iowa (phone 712-732-2452) carried the system timestamp "Updated at 07:47 PM on 02/01/2026 Next Update at 08:02 PM." Roster entries in the captured pages include SIDNEY PINO BECQUER, ID 00061583, booked 9/19/25 at 1:12PM, age 48, bond $14,000, Storm Lake, charged with child endangerment 726.6(2), domestic assault with intent 708.2A(2)(c), willful injury 708.4(1), and VIOL NO CONTACT ORDER-DOMESTIC 664A.7(5). Another roster entry lists VICTOR RODRIGUEZ GARCIA, ID 00061701, booked 1/12/26 at 1:30AM, age 34, bond $5,000, Alta, with domestic assault of a pregnant person 708.2A(2)(e) and VIOL NO CONTACT ORDER-DOMESTIC 664A.7(5). CRISTOBAL DEL ANGEL, ID 00061438, booked 8/31/25, and other records also show the same statutory notation on prior bookings.

The publicly captured materials do not identify by name the man described in the Storm Lake Times excerpt, nor do they include the arrest or charging documents that list the precise misdemeanor statutes added for the alleged jail-phone calls. The paywalled excerpt’s reference to a December battering arrest and the line "Trial on apartment break-in scheduled for May" appear in the same police & courts column, but the excerpt does not make clear whether the May trial reference relates to the same defendant or case.

Key factual gaps remain in available public text: the defendant’s name in the jail-phone allegation, the dates the additional misdemeanor charges were served, the statutory language for those added counts beyond the roster’s frequent use of 664A.7(5), and the identities of the protected parties. Court filings, the full Storm Lake Times police & courts column, and Buena Vista County charging documents or jail call logs would provide the defendant’s name, case number, exact charges, and any scheduled hearings. The Storm Lake Times paywalled item and the Buena Vista County roster together establish the allegation and show the jail’s use of the 664A.7(5) notation, but public records are needed to confirm the individual charged and upcoming court dates.
