Booking records provide basic arrest information. They do not prove that a person committed a crime.

Benais is presumed innocent unless proven guilty in court. Charges can also change as a case moves forward.

Readers can check the Clay County inmate roster for current custody information.

Case details may later appear through Minnesota court records. Release conditions and hearing dates were not provided here.

The Moorhead Police Department may publish updates when public information becomes available.

This report is based on the Clay County Jail booking entry. The entry listed Benais, his age, and the charge.

Jail listings can change as people are released or transferred. Court filings may provide more complete information.

The public should avoid treating a booking photo as proof. A booking only records an arrest and custody event.

TRF News will update this report if officials release more confirmed information. Readers should rely on court records for final outcomes.
