What Minnesota Law Says About the Allegations

Second-degree assault involving a dangerous weapon is among the more serious assault offenses listed under Minnesota law.

A conviction under subdivision 1 can carry up to seven years in prison or a $14,000 fine, or both.

However, the booking information does not identify the alleged weapon. It also does not describe the circumstances surrounding the assault allegation.

The domestic assault listing involves an alleged act intended to cause fear of immediate harm.

The property damage allegation concerns a separate statute covering damage within a specific dollar range.

Readers can review the laws through the Minnesota Revisor of Statutes:

Incident Details Have Not Been Released

The supplied jail listing does not identify where the alleged offenses occurred.

It also does not identify any alleged victim or describe the events leading to Cloud’s arrest.

No details about injuries, damaged property, or the alleged weapon were included in the available booking information.

The record does not establish whether the three allegations arose from a single incident or separate events.

Clearwater County Jail is located in Bagley. However, that does not establish Bagley as the location of the reported incident.

Court Proceedings and Case Status

The available booking record does not provide Cloud’s bail amount, court date, or current custody status.

It also does not confirm whether prosecutors have formally filed all three listed offenses in court.

Public court information may become available through the Minnesota Court Records Online system.

Some pending criminal cases may require a case number to locate their records.

Cloud is presumed innocent unless proven guilty in court. A jail booking does not establish a conviction.
