Moorhead (trfnews.i234.me) – Sheri Amalie Heard, 40, was booked into Clay County Jail on Friday, October 30, 2026.
The official Clay County inmate roster records her booking at 7:03 p.m.
The Clay County Sheriff’s Office is identified as the arresting agency.
The jail record lists one allegation involving a violation of a domestic abuse order for protection.
Order for Protection Violation Allegation
According to the booking information, Heard was booked on an allegation described as “Domestic Abuse – Violate Order for Protection.”
An order for protection, commonly called an OFP, is issued by a court.
These orders can restrict certain contact or conduct in cases involving domestic abuse.
However, the jail listing does not identify the specific order allegedly violated.
It also does not describe the conduct that led to the allegation.
No information about the protected person appears in the supplied record.
The listing does not indicate whether the allegation involved contact, entering a restricted location, or another prohibited action.
What Minnesota Law Says About Protection Orders
Minnesota Statute 518B.01 establishes rules governing domestic abuse orders for protection.
Subdivision 14 addresses violations of these court orders.
Under Minnesota law, knowingly violating an order for protection can be a misdemeanor.
More serious charges may apply when qualifying previous convictions or other circumstances are involved.
A qualifying repeat violation within ten years can be classified as a gross misdemeanor.
Certain violations involving multiple qualifying previous offenses or a dangerous weapon can be felonies.
However, the booking record does not identify any qualifying previous conviction or weapon.
It also does not specify which penalty classification applies to Heard’s allegation.
Readers can review Minnesota Statute 518B.01 – Domestic Abuse and Orders for Protection.
Possible Penalties for an OFP Violation
A misdemeanor order-for-protection violation can carry up to 90 days in jail or a $1,000 fine.
A gross misdemeanor violation can carry up to 364 days in jail or a $3,000 fine.
Under qualifying felony circumstances, the maximum sentence can reach five years in prison.
The law also allows a felony fine of up to $10,000.
These are general statutory penalties, not a sentence imposed against Heard.
Incident Location Not Confirmed
The booking record identifies the Clay County Sheriff’s Office as the arresting agency.
However, that information does not establish where the alleged violation occurred.
No street address, residence, or specific incident location appears in the available information.
The record also does not describe the circumstances surrounding Heard’s booking.
