Moorhead: Devonta Jones Booked on 3 Assault Counts<\/h2>\n

MOORHEAD, CLAY COUNTY<\/strong> (trfnews.i234.me<\/a>) \u2014 Devonta Jevon Jones was booked into the Clay County Correctional Facility on June 25, 2026.<\/p>\n

Jones, 28, was processed at 2:49 p.m., according to the supplied jail record.<\/p>\n

The booking entry lists three alleged assault offenses.<\/p>\n

The Moorhead Police Department is identified as the arresting agency.<\/p>\n

No individual police officer names are included in this report.<\/p>\n

Three Assault Allegations Listed<\/h2>\n

The first allegation is third-degree assault involving substantial bodily harm.<\/p>\n

Minnesota law defines substantial bodily harm as a significant but temporary injury.<\/p>\n

That can include a fracture or a major temporary loss of bodily function.<\/p>\n

The second allegation involves domestic assault by strangulation.<\/p>\n

The abbreviated jail description also includes the letters \u201cGBH.\u201d<\/p>\n

However, the supplied entry does not explain that notation.<\/p>\n

The third allegation is misdemeanor domestic assault.<\/p>\n

That count alleges an intent to cause or attempt bodily harm.<\/p>\n

The record does not identify an alleged victim.<\/p>\n

It also does not describe the events leading to the arrest.<\/p>\n

No weapon, location, or witness information appears in the booking summary.<\/p>\n

A jail roster provides basic custody information.<\/p>\n

It does not contain every fact reviewed by prosecutors or the court.<\/p>\n

Formal charges may differ from the initial jail wording.<\/p>\n

Charges, bail terms, and hearing dates may change.<\/p>\n
