One charge alleges Morin intentionally provided false information.<\/p>\n<p>The second charge alleges he knowingly or intentionally failed to register. The booking summary did not provide more details about either claim.<\/p>\n<p>Clay County Jail records are public information. However, the county warns that roster information may change or contain errors.<\/p>\n<p>Readers can review the <a href=\"https:\/\/claycountymn.gov\/1454\/Inmate-Roster\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Clay County inmate roster<\/a> for current custody information.

Those duties can include keeping required personal information current.<\/p>\n<p>The law also lists penalties for intentionally providing false information. It also covers knowing failures to meet registration requirements.<\/p>\n<p>More information is available under <a href=\"https:\/\/www.revisor.mn.gov\/statutes\/cite\/243.166\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Minnesota Statute 243.166<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>The booking entry did not identify the exact facts behind the alleged violations.

The state system provides access to many public district court records.<\/p>\n<p>Jail rosters can change after release, transfer, or a court decision.

Morin is presumed innocent unless proven guilty in court.<\/p>\n<p>The Clay County Sheriff\u2019s Office says roster data should not support legal action.
