Moorhead (trfnews.i234.me) – Correll Juoquin Wright, 43, was booked into Clay County Jail on Tuesday, October 27, 2026.

The official Clay County inmate roster records his booking at 2:56 p.m.

The Moorhead Police Department is identified as the arresting agency.

The jail record lists four allegations involving impaired driving, firearm restrictions, and providing another person’s name to police.

Second-Degree DWI Allegation

The first listed allegation involves second-degree driving while impaired by alcohol.

Minnesota Statute 169A.25 defines second-degree driving while impaired as a gross misdemeanor.

Under state law, this classification requires qualifying aggravating factors or circumstances involving chemical test refusal.

However, the booking record does not identify the aggravating factors involved.

It also does not provide an alcohol concentration, testing information, or the date of the alleged driving offense.

A gross misdemeanor conviction can generally carry up to 364 days in jail or a $3,000 fine.

These are possible penalties, not a sentence imposed against Wright.

Readers can review Minnesota Statute 169A.25 – Second-Degree DWI.

Firearm Trespassing Allegation

Moorhead Police also list an allegation involving a firearm and failure to leave a property.

The booking description reads “Carry Firearm Posted No Trespass Fail to Leave.”

Minnesota Statute 624.714, subdivision 17, addresses firearm restrictions at certain private establishments.

Under the law, qualifying signs or direct requests can prohibit firearms inside a private establishment.

A person carrying a firearm may be ordered to leave after receiving a qualifying request.

Failing to leave under those circumstances can constitute a petty misdemeanor.

However, the roster does not identify the property, its posted restrictions, or the reported encounter.

False Name to Police Allegation

Another entry involves allegedly providing a peace officer with another person’s name.

Minnesota Statute 609.506 addresses giving false identifying information to law enforcement with intent to obstruct justice.

Subdivision 2 specifically addresses providing another person’s name and birthdate under qualifying circumstances.

That offense is classified as a gross misdemeanor.

However, the booking does not describe the information allegedly provided or the circumstances of the encounter.

Firearm Possession Following Previous Conviction

The fourth allegation involves possessing a pistol or assault weapon following a previous conviction.

Minnesota Statute 624.713 restricts firearm possession for people subject to certain legal prohibitions.

These restrictions can arise from qualifying convictions and other circumstances listed in state law.

However, the jail record does not identify the previous conviction referenced in Wright’s allegation.

It also does not describe the firearm or explain how it was allegedly discovered.

The possible penalties depend on the specific legal provision involved.

Readers can review Minnesota Statute 624.713 – Firearm Possession Restrictions.

Incident Location Not Confirmed

The Moorhead Police Department is listed as the arresting agency.

However, that information does not establish where the alleged offenses occurred.

No street address, business, roadway, or other specific incident location appears in the supplied record.

The four entries also do not establish four separate criminal incidents.

Clay County Jail and Court Information

Clay County Correctional Facility is located in Moorhead, Minnesota.

Readers can review the official Clay County inmate roster.

Additional information is available through the Clay County Correctional Facility website.

The supplied record does not provide Wright’s bail amount, release date, or scheduled court appearance.

It also does not confirm whether prosecutors formally filed all four allegations.

Public case information may be available through Minnesota Court Records Online.

Presumption of Innocence

A jail booking records allegations and does not establish criminal guilt.

Correll Juoquin Wright is presumed innocent unless proven guilty in court.
