Moorhead: Rachel Roper Vick Faces 2 DANCO Charges
Moorhead (trfnews.i234.me) — Rachel Denise Roper Vick was booked into Clay County custody on September 1, 2026.
The Clay County jail roster lists two domestic abuse no-contact-order violations.
Both entries reference two or more qualifying prior convictions within ten years.

The available information does not explain whether the counts involve separate alleged contacts.
It also does not identify the person protected by the no-contact order.
No detailed police report was included with the jail information.
The roster does not identify the location of either alleged violation.
It also does not state how the alleged contact occurred.
No phone calls, messages, social media contacts, or in-person encounters are described.

What Minnesota Law Says
Minnesota Statute 629.75 governs domestic abuse no-contact orders.
A DANCO is a court order used in certain criminal domestic abuse cases.
A person must know the order exists before a criminal violation can occur.
A basic knowing violation is generally a misdemeanor.
One qualifying domestic violence-related conviction within ten years can raise the offense level.
Two or more qualifying prior convictions within ten years can make a later violation a felony.
The Clay County roster specifically lists that two-prior-conviction enhancement for both charges.
The roster does not identify the earlier convictions.
northwestmnnow.com is not assuming what those prior offenses involved.
Possible Felony Penalty
A felony DANCO violation under this provision can carry up to five years in prison.
The maximum fine is $10,000.
Those are statutory maximums and do not represent a sentence in this case.
The final outcome depends on the evidence and court proceedings.
The Clay County Correctional Facility is located in Moorhead.
