Crookston: Deyjah Smith Booked on Assault Allegation

CROOKSTON, Minn. (trfnews.i234.me) — Deyjah Albertine Smith, 22, appears in booking information dated October 27, 2026.

The listed allegation is misdemeanor domestic assault under Minnesota law.

The entry identifies Smith’s birth date as May 7, 2004.

It cites Minnesota Statute 609.2242, subdivision 1(2).

That provision covers intentionally causing, or attempting to cause, bodily harm to a family or household member.

The booking does not establish that Smith committed the alleged offense.

October 27 Booking Information

The supplied entry classifies the alleged offense as a misdemeanor.

It does not describe the event that led to the booking.

No time or location for the reported incident is included.

The record also does not identify another person involved.

It does not say whether someone was injured or received medical treatment.

No police report or criminal complaint accompanied the information.

Those missing details are important because a booking summary offers only a limited account.

More facts could become available through public court filings.

How Minnesota Defines Domestic Assault

Minnesota Statute 609.2242 sets out the state’s domestic assault law.

Subdivision 1 applies to alleged acts involving a family or household member.

One part of the law addresses acts intended to cause fear of immediate harm.

The provision cited in Smith’s entry concerns intentionally inflicting, or trying to inflict, bodily harm.

The charge description does not by itself prove that an injury occurred.

It also does not identify the relationship between the people involved.

A misdemeanor charge is different from a gross-misdemeanor or felony domestic assault charge.

The available entry specifically lists the misdemeanor offense.

Any decision on guilt belongs to the court.

Court Status Not Confirmed

The information provided does not include a case number or first court appearance date.

It also does not list bail conditions, an attorney, or a hearing outcome.

There is no confirmed conviction or sentence in the supplied booking summary.

A booking entry should not be treated as proof of guilt.

The presumption of innocence applies while a criminal allegation remains unresolved.

Updated court documents may clarify whether charges were formally filed or later changed.

Where Readers Can Check Records

Tri-County Community Corrections operates the Northwest Regional Corrections Center in Crookston.

The center serves Polk, Norman, and Red Lake counties.

The agency publishes a local inmate roster and says it updates the list each weekday morning.

Roster information may change when a person is released or transferred.

Readers can also search Minnesota Court Records Online for available public case information.

A name search may not show every pending criminal matter.

The date of Smith’s booking does not confirm an arrest location or current custody status.

No additional case outcome has been independently verified.

Smith is presumed innocent unless proven guilty in court.
