Moorhead: Richard Saldana Jr. Faces Felony DANCO Charge<\/h2>\n

Moorhead (trfnews.i234.me<\/a>)<\/strong> \u2014 Richard Saldana Jr., 32, was booked into custody on September 12, 2026.<\/p>\n

The Clay County inmate roster lists his booking time as 2:34 a.m.<\/p>\n

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

Saldana faces a domestic abuse no-contact-order violation.<\/p>\n

The booking says the allegation involves two or more prior convictions within 10 years.<\/p>\n

Repeat DANCO Violation Alleged<\/h2>\n

A domestic abuse no contact order is commonly known as a DANCO.<\/p>\n

A court may issue a DANCO during certain domestic abuse criminal proceedings.<\/p>\n

The order can prohibit contact with a protected person.<\/p>\n

Minnesota addresses DANCO violations under Minnesota Statute 629.75<\/a>.<\/p>\n

A basic knowing violation of a DANCO can be charged as a misdemeanor.<\/p>\n

Penalties increase when qualifying prior domestic violence-related convictions exist.<\/p>\n

Richard Saldana Jr.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

The law provides felony penalties for certain repeat violations.<\/p>\n

That includes violations within 10 years of the first of two qualifying prior convictions.<\/p>\n

A felony conviction under that provision can bring up to five years in prison.<\/p>\n

The law also allows a fine of up to $10,000.<\/p>\n

Details Remain Limited<\/h2>\n

The public roster does not describe how Saldana allegedly violated the no-contact order.<\/p>\n

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

The roster also does not describe the qualifying prior convictions.<\/p>\n

No details about alleged threats, contact, or other conduct were provided.<\/p>\n

No police officer names are included in this report.<\/p>\n

Booked in Moorhead<\/h2>\n

Saldana was booked through the Clay County correctional system in Moorhead.<\/p>\n

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

Clay County maintains a public inmate roster with current custody information.<\/p>\n

Booking records may change as court proceedings continue.<\/p>\n

An arrest does not establish guilt in a criminal case.<\/p>\n

The charge against Richard Saldana Jr. remains an allegation during the court process.<\/p>\n

Saldana is presumed innocent unless proven guilty in court.<\/p>\n
