Remer Man Booked in Serious Injury DWI Case
REMER, Minn. (trfnews.i234.me) — John Anton Deleski, 53, was booked into the Cass County Jail on Monday.
The booking occurred at 5:14 p.m. on July 6, 2026. Deleski is listed as a Remer resident.
The jail roster lists one alleged criminal vehicular operation charge. The allegation involves substantial bodily harm and an alcohol concentration of 0.08 or higher.
The listed statute also covers testing completed within two hours after driving. The roster describes the booking as an adult arrest.
Charge Listed in Jail Records
The listed offense falls under Minnesota Statute 609.2113, subdivision 2, clause 4. That section concerns criminal vehicular operation causing substantial bodily harm.
The clause applies when alcohol concentration reaches 0.08 or more. The measurement must occur within two hours of driving.
The published statute allows up to three years in prison after conviction. It also allows a fine of up to $10,000.
A court may impose imprisonment, a fine, or both. Those penalties are maximums and do not predict any outcome.
Public Record Remains Limited
The official jail roster was printed on July 7. It lists Deleski as not housed at the Itasca County Jail.
That notation does not explain his current housing or release status. Readers should check the latest report for updates.
The jail entry does not give the crash location. It also does not identify the injured person.
No court date, complaint, or case narrative appeared in the provided booking information. Further details may become available through court records.
Later court filings may use different wording from the first jail entry. A criminal complaint could provide more supporting details.
Readers can review the Cass County in-custody report.
The Minnesota Revisor of Statutes provides the law’s full text.
An arrest is not a conviction. Deleski is presumed innocent unless proven guilty in court.
Booking records may change as cases move through the legal system. Jail custody status can also change without notice.
