Barnesville: Ryan Forney Booked on Forged Check Counts<\/h2>\n

Barnesville (trfnews.i234.me<\/a>)<\/strong> \u2014 Ryan Keith Forney, 40, was booked into the Clay County Correctional Facility on September 14, 2026.<\/p>\n

Clay County’s inmate roster lists two charges described as offering or possessing a forged check.<\/p>\n

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

Forney was booked at about 2:45 p.m., according to the public roster.<\/p>\n

Two Forged Check Allegations Listed<\/h2>\n

The Clay County roster lists the same forged-check description twice.<\/p>\n

Minnesota Statute 609.631 covers check forgery and offering a forged check.<\/p>\n

The law says offering a forged check involves an intent to defraud.<\/p>\n

It also covers possessing a forged check with the intent to offer it.<\/p>\n

The check does not have to be accepted for the law to apply.<\/p>\n

The public jail entry does not identify the checks connected to Forney’s charges.<\/p>\n

It also does not list the alleged dollar amounts.<\/p>\n

Those details matter because Minnesota penalties can vary based on the value involved.<\/p>\n

Prior qualifying convictions can also affect the possible penalty in some cases.<\/p>\n

Readers can review Minnesota Statute 609.631<\/a> through the Minnesota Revisor of Statutes.<\/p>\n

Arresting Agency Based in Barnesville<\/h2>\n

The Barnesville Police Department is listed as the agency connected to Forney’s arrest.<\/p>\n

The public entry does not state where the alleged check activity occurred.<\/p>\n

It also does not name a business, bank, or other alleged victim.<\/p>\n

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

The City of Barnesville Police Department<\/a> provides public department information online.<\/p>\n

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

Forney was booked into the Clay County Correctional Facility in Moorhead.<\/p>\n

The facility is located at 800 9th Street North.<\/p>\n

Clay County says the jail houses minimum, medium, and maximum security inmates.<\/p>\n

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

The roster lists Forney as 40 years old at the time of booking.<\/p>\n

The brief record does not provide a court file number or detailed probable cause statement.<\/p>\n

It also does not show the final outcome of either listed charge.<\/p>\n

Charges Remain Allegations<\/h2>\n

A jail booking does not establish guilt.<\/p>\n

The allegations against Forney remain unproven unless resolved through the court process.<\/p>\n

Court filings may later provide more details about the alleged checks and amounts.<\/p>\n

Those records may also include bail information, hearing dates, and release conditions.<\/p>\n

TRF News will report additional verified information if it becomes publicly available.<\/p>\n
