Red Lake Man Sentenced For Domestic Assault
A Red Lake man has been sentenced in district court for “domestic assault by a habitual offender.” According to the US Attorney’s Office, 46-year-old Allen Robert Cloud was sentenced on Thursday, July 23 after pleading guilty in December, 2025 to “one count of domestic assault resulting in substantial bodily harm.” The sentencing comes from an incident on July 11, 2025 that happened on the Red Lake Nation reservation when Cloud reportedly sought out the victim, his longtime partner, at a neighbor’s house where she was hiding from him. Upon finding her, Cloud violently assaulted her and forced her to leave the neighbor’s house, and prevented her from escaping. After Cloud fell asleep, the victim reportedly attempted to flee when Cloud chased her down and hit her on the head with a piece of concrete. The victim was airlifted to a hospital due to her injuries. Cloud was sentenced to 41 months imprisonment. Prior to the July, 2025 assault, Cloud had at least five Tribal Court convictions for criminal domestic violence and stalking involving domestic assaults committed between 2010 and 2023.Teen Dies In Motorcycle Crash
A St. Cloud teenage boy died in a crash in Benton County on Monday evening. The Benton County Sheriff's Office says they received a report around 8:30 p.m. about a motorcycle and a tractor crash at the intersection of 15th Avenue NE and 160th Street NE in Langola Township. First responders arrived to find the 17-year-old boy with serious injuries and began life-saving measures. Investigators determined the motorcycle and tractor were both going north on 15th Avenue. The boy attempted to pass the tractor being driven by 64-year-old Allen VanNurden of Rice when VanNurden tried to turn left onto 160th Street, and the boy collided with the silage wagon VanNurden was towing. The Sheriff's Office says both the tractor and silage wagon had slow-moving vehicle signs affixed to them, and the 17-year-old boy was not wearing a helmet. Despite the life-saving efforts, the teenager was pronounced dead at the scene. VanNurden was not hurt in the crash, and the investigation is ongoing.
