Moorhead (trfnews.i234.me)<\/a> \u2013 Justin Ray Yanez, 36, was booked into Clay County Jail on Friday, October 23, 2026.<\/p>\n

The official Clay County inmate roster records his booking at 10:33 p.m.<\/p>\n

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

The jail record lists one allegation involving threats of violence and reckless disregard for causing terror.<\/p>\n

Threats of Violence Allegation Listed<\/h2>\n

According to the Clay County booking record, Yanez is listed under “Terroristic Threats Cause Terror w\/ Reckless Disregard.”<\/p>\n

The allegation concerns conduct covered by Minnesota’s threats of violence law.<\/p>\n

However, the jail listing does not describe what Yanez allegedly said or did.<\/p>\n

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

No details about the alleged threat’s timing or method appear in the supplied information.<\/p>\n

The record does not establish whether the alleged threat was made in person, by telephone, or through electronic communication.<\/p>\n

What Minnesota Law Says<\/h2>\n

Minnesota Statute 609.713 addresses threats of violence.<\/p>\n

Subdivision 1 covers certain threats to commit crimes of violence.<\/p>\n

The law applies when a threat is made with the purpose of causing terror.<\/p>\n

It also addresses threats made with reckless disregard for the risk of causing terror.<\/p>\n

Other provisions address certain threats involving public evacuations and serious public disruption.<\/p>\n

However, the booking description does not establish the specific circumstances of Yanez’s allegation.<\/p>\n

Readers can review Minnesota Statute 609.713 \u2013 Threats of Violence<\/a>.<\/p>\n

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

A violation of Minnesota Statute 609.713, subdivision 1, is classified as a felony.<\/p>\n

A conviction can carry up to five years in prison.<\/p>\n

The statute also allows a fine of up to $10,000, or both penalties.<\/p>\n

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

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

Additional court records would be needed to establish the exact allegations and any case developments.<\/p>\n

Incident Location Not Confirmed<\/h2>\n

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

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

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

The jail listing also does not identify the date of the alleged threat.<\/p>\n

The October 23 booking date should not be treated as the confirmed offense date.<\/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 threat occurred.<\/p>\n

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

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

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

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

Presumption of Innocence<\/h2>\n
