Moorhead (trfnews.i234.me)<\/a> \u2013 Sheri Amalie Heard, 40, was booked into Clay County Jail on Friday, October 30, 2026.<\/p>\n

The official Clay County inmate roster records her booking at 7:03 p.m.<\/p>\n

The Clay County Sheriff’s Office is identified as the arresting agency.<\/p>\n

The jail record lists one allegation involving a violation of a domestic abuse order for protection.<\/p>\n

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

According to the booking information, Heard was booked on an allegation described as “Domestic Abuse – Violate Order for Protection.”<\/p>\n

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

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

However, the jail listing does not identify the specific order allegedly violated.<\/p>\n

It also does not describe the conduct that led to the allegation.<\/p>\n

No information about the protected person appears in the supplied record.<\/p>\n

The listing does not indicate whether the allegation involved contact, entering a restricted location, or another prohibited action.<\/p>\n

What Minnesota Law Says About Protection Orders<\/h2>\n

Minnesota Statute 518B.01 establishes rules governing domestic abuse orders for protection.<\/p>\n

Subdivision 14 addresses violations of these court orders.<\/p>\n

Under Minnesota law, knowingly violating an order for protection can be a misdemeanor.<\/p>\n

More serious charges may apply when qualifying previous convictions or other circumstances are involved.<\/p>\n

A qualifying repeat violation within ten years can be classified as a gross misdemeanor.<\/p>\n

Certain violations involving multiple qualifying previous offenses or a dangerous weapon can be felonies.<\/p>\n

However, the booking record does not identify any qualifying previous conviction or weapon.<\/p>\n

It also does not specify which penalty classification applies to Heard’s allegation.<\/p>\n

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

Possible Penalties for an OFP Violation<\/h2>\n

A misdemeanor order-for-protection violation can carry up to 90 days in jail or a $1,000 fine.<\/p>\n

A gross misdemeanor violation can carry up to 364 days in jail or a $3,000 fine.<\/p>\n

Under qualifying felony circumstances, the maximum sentence can reach five years in prison.<\/p>\n

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

These are general statutory penalties, not a sentence imposed against Heard.<\/p>\n

Incident Location Not Confirmed<\/h2>\n

The booking record identifies the Clay County Sheriff’s Office as the arresting agency.<\/p>\n

However, that information does not establish where the alleged violation occurred.<\/p>\n

No street address, residence, or specific incident location appears in the available information.<\/p>\n

The record also does not describe the circumstances surrounding Heard’s booking.<\/p>\n

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

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

However, the jail’s location does not establish where Heard’s alleged offense occurred.<\/p>\n

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

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

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

It also does not confirm whether prosecutors have formally filed a criminal complaint.<\/p>\n

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

Presumption of Innocence<\/h2>\n

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

Sheri Amalie Heard is presumed innocent unless proven guilty in court.<\/p>\n
