Detroit Lakes: Casey Stewart Booked on Assault Charge

DETROIT LAKES, Minn. (trfnews.i234.me) — Casey Leroy Stewart, 22, was recently booked into the Becker County Jail.

The booking record lists July 5, 2026, as Stewart’s booking date. No estimated release date was included.

The listed offense is third-degree assault involving alleged substantial bodily harm. The record cites Minnesota Statute 609.223, subdivision 1.

Booking Information

The available booking information identifies Stewart by his full name and age. It does not provide a court file number.

The record also does not describe where the reported incident happened. No details were provided about events leading to the arrest.

No victim information was included in the booking details. The record did not identify witnesses or describe any reported injuries.

Minnesota law states that third-degree assault can involve substantial bodily harm. State law defines that term using several possible injury types.

Those injuries may include a temporary but substantial disfigurement. They may also include a fracture or substantial loss of bodily function.

The statute allows a sentence of up to five years in prison. It also allows a fine of up to $10,000.

Those are statutory maximum penalties. They do not indicate the likely outcome in Stewart’s case.

The complete statute is available through the Minnesota Revisor of Statutes.

A jail booking shows that a person entered custody. It does not prove that the listed offense occurred.

Prosecutors may review reports before making final charging decisions. Charges may be changed, reduced, or dismissed during that process.

Court records may later provide more information about the allegation. They may also show release conditions and future hearing dates.

Readers can visit the Becker County Jail website for official facility information.

Casey Leroy Stewart is presumed innocent unless proven guilty in court. A booking record is not a conviction.
