Moorhead: Kristine Jirava Faces Felony Drug Sale Charge<\/h2>\n

Moorhead (trfnews.i234.me<\/a>)<\/strong> \u2014 Kristine Anna Jirava, 53, was booked into the Clay County Correctional Facility on August 29, 2026.<\/p>\n

The jail roster lists one second-degree controlled substance sale charge against Jirava.<\/p>\n

The Minnesota Department of Corrections is listed as the arresting agency.<\/p>\n

Jirava was booked at 4:25 p.m., according to the information provided.<\/p>\n

Second-Degree Drug Sale Charge<\/h2>\n

The booking description states that the charge involves the alleged sale of a narcotic drug within a 90-day period.<\/p>\n

It also states that the narcotic was not heroin.<\/p>\n

The description matches Minnesota Statute 152.022, subdivision 1(1).<\/p>\n

Under current law, second-degree sale applies to certain narcotic drug sales totaling at least 10 grams.<\/p>\n

The alleged sales can occur on one or more occasions within a 90-day period.<\/p>\n

The current statute excludes heroin and fentanyl from this specific provision.<\/p>\n

Minnesota law classifies the offense as a felony.<\/p>\n

Readers can review Minnesota Statute 152.022<\/a> through the Minnesota Revisor of Statutes.<\/p>\n

A conviction under subdivision 1 can carry up to 25 years in prison.<\/p>\n

The law also allows a fine of up to $500,000.<\/p>\n

Those are maximum penalties and do not predict the outcome of Jirava’s case.<\/p>\n

Drug and Amount Not Listed<\/h2>\n

The Clay County roster does not identify the narcotic drug allegedly involved.<\/p>\n

It also does not state the exact weight attributed to the charge.<\/p>\n

The entry does not describe when or where any alleged sale occurred.<\/p>\n

No buyer or other person is identified in the information provided.<\/p>\n

The roster does not include a court case number or criminal complaint.<\/p>\n

No probable cause statement was included with the supplied information.<\/p>\n

Those records could provide more details about the state’s allegations.<\/p>\n

Jirava Booked in Moorhead<\/h2>\n

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

The facility houses people under minimum, medium, and maximum custody classifications.<\/p>\n

Readers can visit the Clay County Correctional Facility website<\/a> for official information.<\/p>\n

Public court records may also be searched through Minnesota Court Records Online<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Custody status, charges, and court dates can change as a case moves forward.<\/p>\n

A jail booking and criminal charge do not establish guilt.<\/p>\n

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