Cass Lake Resident Booked in Domestic Assault Case

CASS COUNTY (trfnews.i234.me) — A Cass Lake resident was booked into the Cass County Jail early Sunday.

Thomas Goodshield, 30, was booked at 2:12 a.m. on July 12, 2026.

The booking entry lists one gross misdemeanor domestic assault charge.

The charge cites Minnesota Statute 609.2242, subdivision 2.

Booking records identify Goodshield as a Cass Lake resident.

No police officer names are included in this report.

Charge Listed as a Gross Misdemeanor

The jail entry describes the allegation as domestic assault involving a subsequent violation.

Minnesota law classifies this offense as a gross misdemeanor under certain prior-offense conditions.

The statute applies when an alleged domestic assault follows a qualifying prior domestic violence-related offense.

That prior conviction or juvenile finding must fall within the law’s stated ten-year period.

Readers can review the full law through the Minnesota Revisor of Statutes.

The statute allows a sentence of up to 364 days after a conviction.

It also allows a fine of up to $3,000 after a conviction.

Those penalties are possible limits, not a sentence in this case.

A judge would decide any sentence only after a conviction or guilty plea.

The supplied booking information does not describe the reported incident.

It does not identify an alleged victim or list any reported injuries.

The information also does not provide a court file number.

A bond amount and hearing date were not included.

The Cass County Detention Center posts an official in-custody report online.

That report may change as people are released or their custody status changes.

Readers can visit the Cass County Detention Center website for current jail information.

A booking record shows that someone entered custody.

It does not prove the allegation described in the listed charge.

Minnesota Court Records Online offers access to many public district court records.

A court filing may later include the complaint, hearing dates, and case status.

Some records may not appear immediately after a booking.

Court records can also change as prosecutors review available evidence.

Goodshield is presumed innocent unless proven guilty in court.
