Moorhead (trfnews.i234.me<\/a>)<\/strong> \u2014 Mercedez Johanna Liljequist, 30, was booked into custody on September 11, 2026.<\/p>\n

The Clay County inmate roster lists her booking time as 3:34 p.m.<\/p>\n

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

Liljequist is listed with one charge abbreviated as DAC IPS.<\/p>\n

The abbreviation refers to driving after cancellation as inimical to public safety.<\/p>\n

Gross Misdemeanor License Charge<\/h2>\n

Minnesota addresses this offense under Minnesota Statute 171.24<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Subdivision 5 classifies the offense as a gross misdemeanor.<\/p>\n

The law applies when a driver’s license or driving privilege has been canceled or denied.<\/p>\n

The cancellation must fall under the qualifying public-safety provision in Minnesota law.<\/p>\n

The person must also know, or reasonably should know, about the cancellation or denial.<\/p>\n

It also does not describe the vehicle involved in the alleged offense.<\/p>\n

Clay County also maintains a public inmate roster<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The county warns that roster information may change as cases move through court.<\/p>\n
