Moorhead (trfnews.i234.me) – Brendan Allen Frenzel, 28, was booked into Clay County Jail on Monday, October 5, 2026.
The official Clay County inmate roster records his booking at 3:27 p.m.
The record lists eight entries involving fleeing police, theft, and driving-related allegations.
Beltrami County, Dilworth Police Department, and Moorhead Police Department are associated with the listed matters.
Beltrami County Lists Two Fleeing Allegations
Beltrami County is associated with two entries for allegedly fleeing an officer in a motor vehicle.
Minnesota Statute 609.487, subdivision 3, addresses fleeing a peace officer using a motor vehicle.
Under the statute, this conduct is classified as a felony.
A conviction can carry up to three years and one day in prison.
The law also allows a fine of up to $5,000, or both penalties.
However, the jail record does not describe any alleged pursuit.
It also does not establish whether the two entries involve separate incidents.
Dilworth Police List Four Entries
The Dilworth Police Department is associated with four additional entries.
One involves allegedly fleeing an officer in a motor vehicle.
Two others involve alleged theft of property in different value ranges.
One entry lists property valued between $501 and $1,000.
Another lists property valued at more than $1,000.
Minnesota Statute 609.52 addresses theft and establishes penalties based on the circumstances and property value.
However, the booking record does not identify the property allegedly taken.
It also does not establish whether the theft entries represent separate incidents.
Driving After Cancellation Entry
Dilworth Police also list an offense identified by the abbreviation “DAC IPS.”
That abbreviation commonly refers to driving after cancellation as inimical to public safety.
Minnesota Statute 171.24 addresses driving when a license or driving privilege has been canceled.
However, the roster does not provide a detailed explanation of Frenzel’s driving-related entry.

It is classified as a misdemeanor under the cited provision.
The second entry involves alleged theft of property valued between $1 and $500.

Incident Locations Not Confirmed
The booking record identifies three law enforcement agencies associated with Frenzel’s listed matters.
However, it does not establish where the alleged offenses occurred.
No specific roadways, addresses, or incident locations appear in the supplied information.
The repeated fleeing entries also do not establish the number of alleged pursuits.

Readers can review the official Clay County inmate roster.
Additional information is available through the Clay County Correctional Facility website.
