Minnesota Theft and Fraud Laws<\/h2>\n

Minnesota Statute 609.52<\/a> defines several forms of theft.<\/p>\n

The law includes theft obtained through false representations involving checks, drafts, or payment orders.<\/p>\n

It also covers obtaining property or services through a swindle.<\/p>\n

The value involved can affect the possible penalty under Minnesota law.<\/p>\n

The booking record does not provide statute numbers for Anderson’s individual charges.<\/p>\n

Minnesota also has a separate law covering fraud involving the State Lottery.<\/p>\n

Minnesota Statute 609.651<\/a> lists several forms of State Lottery fraud.<\/p>\n

The law includes fraudulent conduct involving lottery tickets, prizes, or certain lottery computer systems.<\/p>\n

The roster does not state which part of that law authorities allege applies.<\/p>\n

Booked in Clay County<\/h2>\n

Anderson is being listed through the Clay County Correctional Facility in Moorhead.<\/p>\n

The facility is located at 800 9th Street North.<\/p>\n

Information about the jail is available through Clay County<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The supplied information does not provide a court date or release date.<\/p>\n

A jail booking does not mean Anderson has been convicted of any offense.<\/p>\n

Anderson is presumed innocent unless proven guilty through the court process.<\/p>\n

The charges may be amended, dismissed, or resolved during later proceedings.<\/p>\n

Public case information is available through the Minnesota Judicial Branch<\/a>.<\/p>\n
