Cass Lake (trfnews.i234.me) — A Cass Lake man is facing several charges after authorities said he shot himself in the leg outside a bar in Cass County.
According to a criminal complaint, Dean Kyle Jourdain, 24, was injured early on December 11, 2025, outside Logjammerz Bar and Grill in the Cass Lake area.
Court records say law enforcement was called at about 12:39 a.m. for a report of a man who had shot himself in the leg.
When officers arrived, they found Jourdain near a pickup with a gunshot wound to his right leg. The complaint says the bullet entered above his kneecap and exited below it.
What the complaint says
The complaint says Jourdain told authorities he was alone outside the bar when the shooting happened.
He also said the gun was not his.
According to the complaint, he said the pistol was in his jacket pocket when it fired.
Authorities later found the gun under steps near the bar in the snow.
The complaint identifies the weapon as a Glock 43 pistol.
Investigators said the gun matched one reported stolen in Stearns County in August 2022.
That report said the handgun had been taken from a truck.
Charges filed in Cass County
Jourdain is charged with felony possession of stolen property involving a firearm.
He also faces a gross misdemeanor charge for carrying or possessing a pistol in a public place without a permit.
A third count alleges he transported a pistol while he was still charged in another case punishable by more than one year in prison.
He also faces a misdemeanor charge of recklessly handling or using a firearm in a way that endangered another person.
The complaint notes that a records check found no permit to carry or permit to purchase for Jourdain.
Prior case referenced
The complaint also references a 2023 Hubbard County felony fleeing case.
According to the filing, Jourdain received a stay of adjudication in April 2024.
He was placed on probation for three years.
The complaint says that matter had not been dismissed at the time of the December 2025 incident.
Case status
These are charges, not convictions.
Jourdain is presumed innocent unless proven guilty in court.
