Moorhead Woman Booked on Three Assault Counts
Moorhead (trfnews.i234.me) — Michelle Ione Summers, 43, was booked into the Clay County Jail on Wednesday, July 1, 2026.
The booking occurred at 9:47 a.m., according to information provided for this report.
The Moorhead Police Department was listed as the arresting agency.
The jail entry lists three counts of fourth-degree assault involving a peace officer.
The three charges appear separately in the booking record.
No police report or criminal complaint was included with the supplied booking details.
Because of that, the events leading to the arrest remain unclear.
Booking Details
The record identifies Summers by her full name and lists her age as 43.
It does not identify the officers involved in the alleged incident.
The record also does not describe any reported injuries.
No location, incident time, or court case number was provided.
Those details may become available through a complaint or later court filing.
Minnesota Assault Law
Minnesota Statute 609.2231 addresses fourth-degree assault involving peace officers and other public workers.
The possible charge level depends on the alleged conduct and any reported harm.
The short jail description does not show which part of the law may apply.
It also does not provide enough information to determine possible penalties.
Future court records may clarify each count and the claims supporting them.
Public Records and Court Process
Clay County provides an online inmate roster for public booking information.
The county warns that roster information may change or contain errors.
A person may be released, transferred, or appear in court after an update.
The Minnesota Judicial Branch provides online access to many public court records.
New cases may not appear immediately after an arrest.
Court files may later include charging documents, hearing dates, and case outcomes.
Presumption of Innocence
A jail booking records an arrest and entry into custody.
It does not prove that a crime occurred.
Summers is presumed innocent unless proven guilty in court.
Prosecutors must decide whether formal charges will be filed or continued.
The listed counts could be changed, reduced, or dismissed during that process.
