Moorhead Man Charged After Circle K Crash

Moorhead (trfnews.i234.me) — A Moorhead man faces two traffic charges after an alleged parking lot crash at a Circle K.

Raymond Lee Allord, 71, is charged in Clay County District Court. The complaint lists one gross misdemeanor and one misdemeanor.

The case stems from an incident reported on May 29, 2025. It happened at the Circle K on 11th Street North in Moorhead.

Complaint Describes Parking Lot Collision

According to the complaint, Allord was trying to park when his vehicle struck another vehicle. The impact allegedly damaged the driver-side mirror and front fender.

The complaint says Allord then backed away and left the parking lot. He allegedly did not exchange information with the other driver.

A worker at the property reportedly saw the crash. That witness later told the owner of the damaged vehicle.

License Was Canceled, Filing Says

Prosecutors also allege Allord drove while his license was canceled as inimical to public safety.

That term applies when officials consider someone’s driving a risk to public safety.

The complaint says Allord knew, or should have known, about the cancellation.

The driving charge is a gross misdemeanor under Minnesota Statute 171.24.

The complaint lists a maximum sentence of 364 days in jail. It also lists a possible $3,000 fine.

Second Charge Involves Leaving the Scene

Allord also faces a misdemeanor charge involving a collision with an unattended vehicle.

Drivers must stop and investigate after a collision. They must notify the owner, contact the police, or leave identifying information.

Those duties are outlined in Minnesota Statute 169.09.

The complaint lists a maximum sentence of 90 days in jail. It also lists a possible $1,000 fine.

The case is filed as 14-CR-26-1584. Public information may be searched through Minnesota Court Records Online.

A criminal complaint contains allegations. Allord is presumed innocent unless proven guilty in court.
