VIKING, Minn.<\/strong> (trfnews.i234.me<\/a>) \u2014 The Minnesota Department of Corrections lists Matthew Allen Berry in its public registrant notification records. The listing identifies Viking, in Marshall County, as his registered location.<\/p>\n

According to the state record, Berry was released from prison on February 1, 2025. The department also reports that his court-imposed prison sentence and supervised release have expired.<\/p>\n

The public notice provides details about Berry’s past offense, identifying information, and registration status. It does not report a new arrest or criminal charge in 2026.<\/p>\n

Details of Matthew Berry’s Offense History<\/h2>\n

According to the Minnesota DOC, Berry engaged in sexual contact with a female child he knew in 2010. The department states that the contact included penetration.<\/p>\n

Investigators documented that Berry used a significant relationship of trust to gain access to the victim. The state reports that he exploited opportunities for contact without supervision.<\/p>\n

The listed offense falls under Minnesota Statute 609.343, which addresses second-degree criminal sexual conduct.<\/p>\n

Berry’s DOC offender identification number is 241159. His listed birth date is August 4, 1986.<\/p>\n

Registered Location in Marshall County<\/h2>\n

The public notification record lists Viking, Minnesota, 56760, as Berry’s registered location. The supplied information identifies the community but does not provide a specific street address.<\/p>\n

The DOC also lists Mathew Allen Berry as an alternate spelling of his name.<\/p>\n

Although the record includes a local supervision contact, it states that his prison sentence and supervised release have expired.<\/p>\n

The supplied notice does not establish whether Berry’s registered location has changed since its publication.<\/p>\n

How Minnesota’s Public Notification System Works<\/h2>\n

Minnesota law requires certain individuals to register following qualifying offenses. Some registrants are also subject to public community notification.<\/p>\n

Under Minnesota Statute 244.052<\/a>, law enforcement determines which information should be publicly released.<\/p>\n

The DOC posts authorized public notifications within 48 hours after receiving approval from the responsible law enforcement agency.<\/p>\n

Registration requirements are outlined in Minnesota Statute 243.166<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The state says individuals appearing in these records are not necessarily wanted by law enforcement. Berry’s supplied notice does not identify him as wanted.<\/p>\n

Residents with questions about Berry’s public notification can contact the Marshall County Sheriff’s Office at 218-745-5411.<\/p>\n

The Minnesota DOC Community Notification Unit can also provide information about the notification process.<\/p>\n

Residents can call 651-361-7340 or the toll-free number, 866-396-9953. Questions can also be emailed to notification.doc@state.mn.us<\/a>.<\/p>\n
