Moorhead (trfnews.i234.me)<\/a> \u2013 Lance Craig Summers, 41, was booked into Clay County Jail on Friday, October 23, 2026.<\/p>\n

The official Clay County inmate roster records his booking at 9:09 p.m.<\/p>\n

The record lists two allegations involving fourth-degree criminal sexual conduct and providing a false name to police.<\/p>\n

The Clay County Sheriff’s Office and Dilworth Police Department are identified as the associated agencies.<\/p>\n

Fourth-Degree Criminal Sexual Conduct Allegation<\/h2>\n

The Clay County Sheriff’s Office lists an allegation of fourth-degree criminal sexual conduct involving force or coercion.<\/p>\n

The booking description reads “4 Deg CSC Force or Coercion.”<\/p>\n

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

It also does not identify the alleged victim or provide an offense date.<\/p>\n

No details about reported injuries, evidence, or the circumstances surrounding the allegation appear in the record.<\/p>\n

What Minnesota Law Says<\/h2>\n

Minnesota Statute 609.345 addresses criminal sexual conduct in the fourth degree.<\/p>\n

The statute includes certain sexual contact involving force or coercion.<\/p>\n

It also covers other situations involving circumstances specified under state law.<\/p>\n

Fourth-degree criminal sexual conduct is classified as a felony.<\/p>\n

However, the booking record does not identify the exact statutory subdivision involved.<\/p>\n

Additional court documents would be needed to clarify the specific legal allegations.<\/p>\n

False Name to Police Allegation<\/h2>\n

The Dilworth Police Department is associated with a separate allegation involving a false name given to police.<\/p>\n

Minnesota Statute 609.506 prohibits certain false identifying statements made to officers with intent to obstruct justice.<\/p>\n

The law addresses fictitious names, false birthdates, and fraudulent identification.<\/p>\n

Providing another person’s name and birthdate can result in enhanced penalties under specific circumstances.<\/p>\n

However, the roster does not explain what information Summers allegedly provided.<\/p>\n

It also does not establish whether this allegation arose during the same investigation.<\/p>\n

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

A fourth-degree criminal sexual conduct conviction can carry up to ten years in prison.<\/p>\n

The law also allows a fine of up to $20,000, or both penalties.<\/p>\n

False-name violations can be misdemeanors or gross misdemeanors, depending on the circumstances.<\/p>\n

These are possible statutory penalties, not sentences imposed against Summers.<\/p>\n

Incident Locations Not Confirmed<\/h2>\n

The booking record identifies two agencies associated with Summers’ listed allegations.<\/p>\n

However, neither agency listing establishes where the alleged offenses occurred.<\/p>\n

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

The record also does not confirm whether both matters involve the same incident.<\/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 either alleged offense happened.<\/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 supplied record does not provide Summers’ bail amount, release date, or scheduled court appearance.<\/p>\n

It also does not establish whether prosecutors have 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

Lance Craig Summers is presumed innocent unless proven guilty in court.<\/p>\n
