Moorhead (trfnews.i234.me)<\/a> \u2013 Hector Manuel Morales Pagan, 29, was booked into Clay County Jail on Friday, October 16, 2026.<\/p>\n

The official Clay County inmate roster records his booking at 12:07 a.m.<\/p>\n

The Moorhead Police Department is identified as the arresting agency.<\/p>\n

The booking lists four entries involving assault, obstructing police, and tampering with a motor vehicle.<\/p>\n

Two Fifth-Degree Assault Entries Listed<\/h2>\n

The Moorhead Police Department lists two fifth-degree assault entries involving Morales Pagan.<\/p>\n

Minnesota Statute 609.224 addresses fifth-degree assault and establishes several offense classifications.<\/p>\n

A basic fifth-degree assault involves causing or attempting bodily harm.<\/p>\n

The law also covers acts intended to cause fear of immediate bodily harm or death.<\/p>\n

However, the jail listing does not explain what allegedly happened.<\/p>\n

It also does not identify anyone reportedly assaulted or describe any injuries.<\/p>\n

The repeated entries do not establish whether two separate incidents occurred.<\/p>\n

Readers can review Minnesota Statute 609.224 \u2013 Fifth-Degree Assault<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Obstructing Legal Process Allegation<\/h2>\n

Another listed allegation involves obstructing legal process by interfering with police.<\/p>\n

Minnesota Statute 609.50 prohibits certain intentional interference with officers performing official duties.<\/p>\n

It also addresses obstructing the lawful execution of legal process.<\/p>\n

Penalties vary depending on the circumstances and seriousness of the conduct.<\/p>\n

However, the booking record does not describe how Morales Pagan allegedly interfered with officers.<\/p>\n

It also does not establish whether this allegation arose during an investigation of the reported assaults.<\/p>\n

Motor Vehicle Tampering Allegation<\/h2>\n

The fourth entry involves alleged tampering with a motor vehicle.<\/p>\n

Minnesota Statute 609.546 addresses intentionally tampering with or entering a motor vehicle without the owner’s permission.<\/p>\n

The offense is generally classified as a misdemeanor.<\/p>\n

However, the jail record does not identify the vehicle allegedly involved.<\/p>\n

It also does not describe any reported damage or explain what authorities believe occurred.<\/p>\n

The allegation alone does not establish that a vehicle was stolen.<\/p>\n

Incident Location Not Confirmed<\/h2>\n

The booking identifies the Moorhead Police Department as the arresting agency.<\/p>\n

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

No street address, parking area, roadway, or other incident location appears in the supplied record.<\/p>\n

The listing also does not confirm whether all four entries arose from one event.<\/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> for public booking information.<\/p>\n

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

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

It also does not confirm whether prosecutors formally filed all four allegations.<\/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 allegations and does not establish criminal guilt.<\/p>\n

Hector Manuel Morales Pagan is presumed innocent unless proven guilty in court.<\/p>\n
