Moorhead (trfnews.i234.me)<\/a> \u2013 Lee Arthur Fry, 36, was booked into Clay County Jail on Thursday, October 8, 2026.<\/p>\n

The official Clay County inmate roster records his booking at 1:04 p.m.<\/p>\n

The record lists two allegations involving controlled substance possession and violation of an order for protection.<\/p>\n

The Dilworth Police Department and Minnesota Department of Corrections are identified as agencies associated with the listed matters.<\/p>\n

Fifth-Degree Drug Possession Allegation<\/h2>\n

The Dilworth Police Department is associated with an allegation involving fifth-degree controlled substance possession.<\/p>\n

The booking entry references controlled substances classified under Schedules I, II, III, and IV.<\/p>\n

Minnesota Statute 152.025 addresses the unlawful possession of certain controlled substances in these categories.<\/p>\n

The statute excludes specified cannabis and hemp products from this possession provision.<\/p>\n

However, the jail record does not identify the substance allegedly involved in Fry’s case.<\/p>\n

It also does not provide a reported quantity or describe where the suspected substance was found.<\/p>\n

No information about laboratory testing or the circumstances surrounding the allegation appears in the supplied record.<\/p>\n

Possible Drug Possession Penalties<\/h2>\n

Minnesota law establishes different penalties for fifth-degree controlled substance possession.<\/p>\n

Some qualifying first-time, small-quantity possession offenses are classified as gross misdemeanors.<\/p>\n

Other fifth-degree controlled substance offenses can carry up to five years in prison.<\/p>\n

Those offenses may also carry a fine of up to $10,000, or both penalties.<\/p>\n

The supplied booking information does not establish which penalty classification applies to Fry.<\/p>\n

These are possible legal penalties, not a sentence imposed against him.<\/p>\n

Order for Protection Violation Listed<\/h2>\n

The Minnesota Department of Corrections is associated with a separate order-for-protection violation entry.<\/p>\n

An order for protection, commonly called an OFP, is issued by a court.<\/p>\n

Such orders can restrict contact or other conduct in cases involving domestic abuse.<\/p>\n

Minnesota Statute 518B.01 establishes procedures and penalties for violating these orders.<\/p>\n

Depending on the circumstances, a violation can be classified as a misdemeanor, gross misdemeanor, or felony.<\/p>\n

However, the booking record does not identify the protection order allegedly violated.<\/p>\n

It also does not describe the reported violation or specify an enhanced offense level.<\/p>\n

The listing does not establish whether this matter involves community supervision or another correctional proceeding.<\/p>\n

Readers can review Minnesota Statute 518B.01 \u2013 Domestic Abuse and Orders for Protection<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Incident Locations Not Confirmed<\/h2>\n

The booking identifies the Dilworth Police Department and Minnesota Department of Corrections.<\/p>\n

However, the listed agencies do not establish where the alleged offenses occurred.<\/p>\n

No specific address, residence, or incident location appears in the supplied record.<\/p>\n

The information also does not confirm whether both allegations arose from the same events.<\/p>\n

Clay County Jail and Court Information<\/h2>\n

Clay County Correctional Facility is located in Moorhead, Minnesota.<\/p>\n

Readers can review the official Clay County inmate roster<\/a>.<\/p>\n

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

The supplied record does not provide Fry’s bail amount, release date, or scheduled court appearance.<\/p>\n

It also does not confirm whether prosecutors formally filed both allegations.<\/p>\n

Public court information may be available through Minnesota Court Records Online<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Presumption of Innocence<\/h2>\n

A jail booking records allegations and does not establish criminal guilt.<\/p>\n

Lee Arthur Fry is presumed innocent unless proven guilty in court.<\/p>\n
