Bagley Jail Books Man on Card Fraud Charge
CLEARWATER COUNTY (trfnews.i234.me) — A 48-year-old man was booked into the Clearwater County Jail on Saturday evening.
The jail booking information identifies the man as Jeremy Neeland. The record lists his booking time as 7:01 p.m. on July 4, 2026.
Neeland was booked on a listed charge of financial transaction card fraud. The entry cites Minnesota Statute 609.821, subdivision 2(2).
Booking Record Lists Forged Card Charge
That law covers using, or trying to use, a financial transaction card known to be forged.
It also covers cards known to be false, fictitious, or obtained through certain unlawful acts.
The booking description states “use forged” and notes an adult arrest. No police officer names are included in this report.
The information provided did not list the value of any alleged transaction. It also omitted a bond amount and a scheduled court appearance.
Minnesota law links possible penalties to several facts. Those facts can include the value involved and a person’s prior record.
Those details were not available in the booking summary.
Booking Does Not Establish Guilt
A jail booking is an administrative record following an arrest. It does not prove that a person committed a crime.
Clearwater County also warns that jail information can change. A listed offense may be an initial charge or an amended charge.
The county says inmate records should not be used for legal action.
Neeland is presumed innocent unless proven guilty in court. Any formal complaint may provide more details about the allegation.
The booking record did not describe how the card was allegedly used. It also did not identify a business, victim, or transaction location.
Readers can review Minnesota Statute 609.821 through the Minnesota Revisor of Statutes.
The Clearwater County inmate list provides booking information and the county’s official disclaimer.
This report will be updated if court records add verified details. Those records could include bond terms or future hearing dates.
