Moorhead (trfnews.i234.me<\/a>)<\/strong> \u2014 Christopher Brady Bakken, 41, was booked into the Clay County Correctional Facility on August 25, 2026.<\/p>\n

The jail roster lists Bakken’s booking time as 12:23 p.m.<\/p>\n

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

The roster lists three separate Domestic Abuse No Contact Order violation entries.<\/p>\n

Each entry states the alleged violation occurred within 10 years of a previous conviction.<\/p>\n

The charges remain allegations and do not establish guilt.<\/p>\n

Three DANCO Violations Listed<\/h2>\n

A Domestic Abuse No Contact Order is commonly called a DANCO.<\/p>\n

Minnesota courts can issue these orders in certain criminal cases involving domestic abuse.<\/p>\n

The orders can restrict contact between a defendant and another person.<\/p>\n

Minnesota Statute 629.75 sets criminal penalties for violating a DANCO.<\/p>\n

A violation within 10 years of a qualifying prior conviction can be a gross misdemeanor.<\/p>\n

Readers can review Minnesota Statute 629.75<\/a> for the full law.<\/p>\n

\n<\/a>Christopher Brady Bakken<\/em><\/div>\n

The statute also provides higher penalties in some repeat cases.<\/p>\n

The Clay County roster does not explain the alleged contact behind Bakken’s three entries.<\/p>\n

It also does not identify the person protected by the order.<\/p>\n

This report does not add details that are not contained in the public booking record.<\/p>\n

Booked at Clay County Facility<\/h2>\n

The Clay County Correctional Facility is located at 800 9th Street North in Moorhead.<\/p>\n

The jail houses minimum, medium, and maximum custody inmates.<\/p>\n

Facility information is available through Clay County<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The jail record reflects booking information available when the roster was published.<\/p>\n

Custody status and criminal charges can change during court proceedings.<\/p>\n

Charges Remain Allegations<\/h2>\n

A jail booking does not mean Bakken has been convicted of the listed offenses.<\/p>\n

Bakken 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

Future court filings may provide details about each alleged DANCO violation.<\/p>\n

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

The court record should be checked for the latest case status.<\/p>\n
