Moorhead (trfnews.i234.me)<\/a> \u2013 Trent Marcus Ratliff Jones, 26, was booked into Clay County Jail on Saturday, October 31, 2026.<\/p>\n

The official Clay County inmate roster records his booking at 10:56 a.m.<\/p>\n

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

The booking record lists two allegations involving fifth-degree assault and domestic assault.<\/p>\n

Fifth-Degree Assault Allegation Listed<\/h2>\n

The first listed allegation involves fifth-degree assault.<\/p>\n

Minnesota Statute 609.224 establishes the legal requirements for this offense.<\/p>\n

The law covers intentionally causing or attempting to cause bodily harm.<\/p>\n

It also covers actions intended to cause fear of immediate bodily harm or death.<\/p>\n

However, the jail record does not describe what Ratliff Jones allegedly did.<\/p>\n

It also does not identify anyone reportedly assaulted.<\/p>\n

No details about reported injuries or medical treatment appear in the supplied information.<\/p>\n

The listing does not specify the statutory subdivision associated with the allegation.<\/p>\n

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

Domestic Assault Allegation Also Listed<\/h2>\n

The second allegation involves domestic assault.<\/p>\n

The booking description reads “Domestic Assault no GBH or Weapon.”<\/p>\n

The abbreviation “GBH” refers to great bodily harm.<\/p>\n

However, the description alone does not establish the full circumstances of the reported incident.<\/p>\n

Minnesota Statute 609.2242 addresses domestic assault involving family or household members.<\/p>\n

The law covers intentional bodily harm, attempted bodily harm, and certain threatening acts.<\/p>\n

However, the record does not identify the relationship involved in the allegation.<\/p>\n

It also does not confirm whether both assault entries arose from the same event.<\/p>\n

Possible Penalties Under Minnesota Law<\/h2>\n

Basic fifth-degree assault and domestic assault offenses are generally classified as misdemeanors.<\/p>\n

A misdemeanor conviction can carry up to 90 days in jail or a $1,000 fine, or both.<\/p>\n

However, qualifying previous offenses can increase the classification of certain assault charges.<\/p>\n

The jail record does not identify any qualifying previous conviction or enhanced charge level.<\/p>\n

These are general legal penalties, not a sentence imposed against Ratliff Jones.<\/p>\n

Readers can review Minnesota Statute 609.2242 \u2013 Domestic Assault<\/a>.<\/p>\n

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

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

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

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

The listing also does not provide an official account of the reported events.<\/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 the alleged assaults happened.<\/p>\n

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

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

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

It also does not confirm whether prosecutors formally filed both 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

Trent Marcus Ratliff Jones is presumed innocent unless proven guilty in court.<\/p>\n
