Moorhead (trfnews.i234.me)<\/a> \u2013 Thonyony Chuol Path, 37, was booked into Clay County Jail on Sunday, November 1, 2026.<\/p>\n

The official Clay County inmate roster records his booking at 12:55 a.m.<\/p>\n

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

The record lists a third-degree alcohol-related DWI allegation and an additional extradition detainer entry.<\/p>\n

Third-Degree DWI Allegation Listed<\/h2>\n

According to the jail roster, Path was booked with an allegation described as “3 Deg DWI Alcohol.”<\/p>\n

Third-degree driving while impaired is classified as a gross misdemeanor under Minnesota law.<\/p>\n

However, the available booking information does not describe the circumstances leading to his arrest.<\/p>\n

It also does not identify the vehicle or explain how the alleged impaired driving was discovered.<\/p>\n

No alcohol test results appear in the supplied record.<\/p>\n

What Minnesota Law Says About Third-Degree DWI<\/h2>\n

Minnesota Statute 169A.26 establishes the requirements for third-degree driving while impaired.<\/p>\n

The law includes impaired-driving offenses involving one qualifying aggravating factor.<\/p>\n

It also covers certain offenses involving refusal to submit to chemical testing.<\/p>\n

Minnesota law identifies several possible aggravating factors.<\/p>\n

These include a qualifying previous impaired-driving incident within ten years.<\/p>\n

Another involves an alcohol concentration of 0.16 or higher within the legally specified testing period.<\/p>\n

A qualifying child passenger can also be an aggravating factor.<\/p>\n

However, the booking record does not establish which circumstances apply to Path’s allegation.<\/p>\n

Readers can review Minnesota Statute 169A.26 \u2013 Third-Degree Driving While Impaired<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Possible Penalties for Third-Degree DWI<\/h2>\n

A gross misdemeanor DWI conviction can carry up to 364 days in jail.<\/p>\n

Minnesota law also allows a fine of up to $3,000, or both penalties.<\/p>\n

Additional sentencing requirements may apply depending on the circumstances.<\/p>\n

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

Additional Extradition Detainer Entry<\/h2>\n

The current Clay County inmate roster also contains a separate extradition detainer entry for Path.<\/p>\n

Its description references an arrest without a warrant.<\/p>\n

However, the roster does not identify another jurisdiction or explain the reason for the detainer.<\/p>\n

It also does not establish the outcome of any related proceedings.<\/p>\n

Additional official records would be needed to clarify that entry.<\/p>\n

Location of Alleged DWI Not Confirmed<\/h2>\n

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

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

No highway, street address, intersection, or specific traffic-stop location appears in the available information.<\/p>\n

The booking also does not identify Path’s hometown.<\/p>\n

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

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

The jail’s location does not establish where the alleged driving offense occurred.<\/p>\n

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

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

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

It also does not confirm whether prosecutors have formally filed the DWI allegation.<\/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 detention information. It does not establish criminal guilt.<\/p>\n

Thonyony Chuol Path is presumed innocent unless proven guilty in court.<\/p>\n
