Moorhead Man Accused of Sealing Neighbor\u2019s Door<\/h2>\n

MOORHEAD<\/strong> (trfnews.i234.me<\/a>) \u2014 A Moorhead man faces two gross misdemeanor charges after a neighbor was allegedly trapped inside an apartment three times.<\/p>\n

Shane Allen Jones, 32, is charged in Clay County District Court with harassment and fourth-degree property damage.<\/p>\n

The charges stem from an incident reported on June 28, 2026, at a Moorhead apartment building.<\/p>\n

The claims are allegations contained in a criminal complaint. Jones is presumed innocent unless proven guilty in court.<\/p>\n

Neighbor Reports Being Trapped<\/h2>\n

Police were called to the apartment at about 8:05 a.m., according to the complaint.<\/p>\n

The resident told officers that a neighbor had locked him inside his apartment.<\/p>\n

Officers found the apartment door fastened shut from the outside with gold screws.<\/p>\n

Police removed the screws and freed the resident from the apartment.<\/p>\n

Officers then left the building. However, they returned about one hour later after another call.<\/p>\n

The resident said his door had again been screwed shut from the outside.<\/p>\n

Police removed the screws for a second time.<\/p>\n

Police Called Back a Third Time<\/h2>\n

Authorities received another call about one hour later, the complaint states.<\/p>\n

Police returned and allegedly saw Jones fastening the neighbor\u2019s door shut.<\/p>\n

The exterior door also had visible damage. A large \u201cX\u201d had been spray-painted across the door.<\/p>\n

The resident estimated the repair cost at between $300 and $400.<\/p>\n

Authorities later obtained a warrant to arrest Jones and search his apartment.<\/p>\n

The complaint states that evidence connected to the incident was found during the search.<\/p>\n

Jones also allegedly admitted that he had locked the resident inside the apartment.<\/p>\n

Two Charges Filed<\/h2>\n

The harassment charge alleges conduct intended to injure, threaten, harass, or intimidate another person.<\/p>\n

That charge carries a possible sentence of 364 days in jail and a $3,000 fine.<\/p>\n

The property damage count is also listed as a gross misdemeanor in the complaint.<\/p>\n
