Fourth-Degree Criminal Sexual Conduct Allegation
The Clay County Sheriff’s Office lists an allegation of fourth-degree criminal sexual conduct involving force or coercion.
The booking description reads “4 Deg CSC Force or Coercion.”
However, the jail listing does not describe what allegedly happened.
It also does not identify the alleged victim or provide an offense date.
No details about reported injuries, evidence, or the circumstances surrounding the allegation appear in the record.
What Minnesota Law Says
Minnesota Statute 609.345 addresses criminal sexual conduct in the fourth degree.
The statute includes certain sexual contact involving force or coercion.
It also covers other situations involving circumstances specified under state law.
Fourth-degree criminal sexual conduct is classified as a felony.
However, the booking record does not identify the exact statutory subdivision involved.
Additional court documents would be needed to clarify the specific legal allegations.

False Name to Police Allegation
The Dilworth Police Department is associated with a separate allegation involving a false name given to police.
Minnesota Statute 609.506 prohibits certain false identifying statements made to officers with intent to obstruct justice.
The law addresses fictitious names, false birthdates, and fraudulent identification.
Providing another person’s name and birthdate can result in enhanced penalties under specific circumstances.
However, the roster does not explain what information Summers allegedly provided.
It also does not establish whether this allegation arose during the same investigation.

The law also allows a fine of up to $20,000, or both penalties.
False-name violations can be misdemeanors or gross misdemeanors, depending on the circumstances.
These are possible statutory penalties, not sentences imposed against Summers.
Incident Locations Not Confirmed

However, neither agency listing establishes where the alleged offenses occurred.
