Clay County Jail Booking Lists Assault Charges

CLAY COUNTY, Minn. (trfnews.i234.me) — Nikki Lynn Pons, 58, was booked into the Clay County Jail on April 24, 2026.

The booking was recorded at 10:19 a.m. The Clay County Sheriff’s Office was listed as the arresting agency.

The jail entry lists three alleged offenses. They include second-degree assault, fifth-degree assault, and disorderly conduct.

Second-Degree Assault Allegation

The most serious listed count alleges second-degree assault with a dangerous weapon.

The booking record does not identify the alleged weapon. It also does not describe the reported event or any injuries.

Minnesota addresses second-degree assault under Minnesota Statute 609.222.

The statute covers assault involving a dangerous weapon. The booking entry does not explain which legal section may apply.

A filed criminal complaint may provide further details about the allegation.

The second count alleges fifth-degree assault involving fear of bodily harm.

The record does not identify an alleged victim. It also does not explain the actions behind the charge.

Fifth-degree assault is addressed under Minnesota Statute 609.224.

A third count alleges disorderly conduct. The booking entry provides no further facts about that allegation.

The relevant state law appears under Minnesota Statute 609.72.

No officer names are included in this report. The provided information also lacks a case number or a hearing date.

Current custody information may appear on the Clay County inmate roster.

The county warns that roster information can change. It should not be treated as a final court record.

Minnesota Court Records Online provides access to many public court documents.

Some records may not appear immediately after a booking. Charges may also change after review by prosecutors.

A jail booking does not establish guilt. It records that a person was processed into custody.

Pons is presumed innocent unless proven guilty in court.

Prosecutors may amend, reduce, or dismiss the listed charges. A judge or jury may later decide the case.
