Fergus Falls: Amanda McCoy Faces 1st-Degree Damage Charge<\/h2>\n

Fergus Falls (trfnews.i234.me<\/a>)<\/strong> \u2014 Amanda Marie McCoy, 41, was booked into custody on September 11, 2026.<\/p>\n

The supplied custody record lists booking number 002600000822.<\/p>\n

McCoy is listed with one active criminal damage to property charge.<\/p>\n

The charge is described as first-degree property damage.<\/p>\n

The allegation says the property’s value was reduced by more than $1,000.<\/p>\n

First-Degree Property Damage Alleged<\/h2>\n

The booking cites Minnesota Statute 609.595<\/a>, subdivision 1(4).<\/p>\n

That law covers intentional damage to another person’s property without consent.<\/p>\n

Clause four applies when damage reduces property value by more than $1,000.<\/p>\n

The amount is measured using repair and replacement costs.<\/p>\n

\"Amanda<\/p>\n

The statute allows property damage from a six-month period to be combined in some cases.<\/p>\n

The supplied record does not identify the property allegedly damaged.<\/p>\n

It also does not provide an exact estimated repair or replacement cost.<\/p>\n

No details about how the alleged damage occurred were included.<\/p>\n

Booking Classification Differs From Statute<\/h2>\n

The supplied custody entry labels McCoy’s charge as a gross misdemeanor.<\/p>\n

However, the cited first-degree statute allows up to five years imprisonment.<\/p>\n

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

The booking information does not explain the difference in classification.<\/p>\n

This report does not speculate about the reason for that difference.<\/p>\n

Later court records may provide more information about the filed charge.<\/p>\n

Booked in Fergus Falls<\/h2>\n

McCoy was booked through the Otter Tail County correctional system.<\/p>\n

The Otter Tail County Jail<\/a> is located in Fergus Falls.<\/p>\n

The facility is located at 416 South Mill Street.<\/p>\n

The booking record lists the property damage case as active.<\/p>\n

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

An active jail charge does not establish guilt.<\/p>\n

The allegation against Amanda Marie McCoy remains pending through the court process.<\/p>\n

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

Readers can search public court information through the Minnesota Judicial Branch<\/a>.<\/p>\n
