target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">trfnews.i234.me<\/a>) \u2014 Michelle Ione Summers, 43, was booked into the Clay County Jail on Wednesday, July 1, 2026.<\/p>\n<p>The booking occurred at 9:47 a.m., according to information provided for this report.<\/p>\n<p>The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.moorheadmn.gov\/emergency-services\/police\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Moorhead Police Department<\/a> was listed as the arresting agency.<\/p>\n<p>The jail entry lists three counts of fourth-degree assault involving a peace officer.<\/p>\n<p>The three charges appear separately in the booking record.<\/p>\n<p>No police report or criminal complaint was included with the supplied booking details.<\/p>\n<p>Because of that, the events leading to the arrest remain unclear.<\/p>\n<h2>Booking Details<\/h2>\n<p>The record identifies Summers by her full name and lists her age as 43.<\/p>\n<p>It does not identify the officers involved in the alleged incident.<\/p>\n<p>The record also does not describe any reported injuries.<\/p>\n<p>No location, incident time, or court case number was provided.<\/p>\n<p>Those details may become available through a complaint or later court filing.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-large\" style=\"text-align: center; margin: 25px auto;\"><img decoding=\"async\" style=\"display: block;

href=\"https:\/\/www.revisor.mn.gov\/statutes\/cite\/609.2231\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Minnesota Statute 609.2231<\/a> addresses fourth-degree assault involving peace officers and other public workers.<\/p>\n<p>The possible charge level depends on the alleged conduct and any reported harm.<\/p>\n<p>The short jail description does not show which part of the law may apply.<\/p>\n<p>It also does not provide enough information to determine possible penalties.<\/p>\n<p>Future court records may clarify each count and the claims supporting them.<\/p>\n<h2>Public Records and Court Process<\/h2>\n<p>Clay County provides an <a href=\"https:\/\/claycountymn.gov\/1454\/Inmate-Roster\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">online inmate roster<\/a> for public booking information.<\/p>\n<p>The county warns that roster information may change or contain errors.<\/p>\n<p>A person may be released, transferred, or appear in court after an update.<\/p>\n<p>The <a href=\"https:\/\/mncourts.gov\/access-case-records\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Minnesota Judicial Branch<\/a> provides online access to many public court records.<\/p>\n<p>New cases may not appear immediately after an arrest.<\/p>\n<p>Court files may later include charging documents, hearing dates, and case outcomes.<\/p>\n<h2>Presumption of Innocence<\/h2>\n<p>A jail booking records an arrest and entry into custody.<\/p>\n<p>It does not prove that a crime occurred.<\/p>\n<p>Summers is presumed innocent unless proven guilty in court.<\/p>\n<p>Prosecutors must decide whether formal charges will be filed or continued.<\/p>\n<p>The listed counts could be changed, reduced, or dismissed during that process.<\/p>\n<p>This report is based only on booking information available at
