Detroit Lakes Jail Lists Justin Leritz on DWI Count

DETROIT LAKES (trfnews.i234.me) — Justin Mathias Leritz, 42, appears in a Becker County Jail booking dated October 24, 2026.

The entry lists one fourth-degree driving while impaired allegation under Minnesota Statute 169A.27, subdivision 1.

The offense is listed as DWI in the county’s booking information.

The supplied record does not describe a traffic stop, an arrest location, or the alleged driving behavior.

It also does not identify the arresting agency or provide an incident report.

Fourth-Degree DWI Under Minnesota Law

Minnesota Statute 169A.27 defines fourth-degree driving while impaired.

The law applies to violations of the state’s underlying impaired driving statute.

It classifies fourth-degree DWI as a misdemeanor.

The related Minnesota Statute 169A.20 addresses impaired driving involving alcohol and other substances.

It also covers certain alcohol concentration limits for drivers.

However, Leritz’s booking excerpt does not identify a substance or provide a reported alcohol concentration.

It contains no chemical test results or account of any observations made during the investigation.

The offense description alone cannot establish the evidence supporting the allegation.

The roster excerpt lists Saturday, October 24, 2026, as Leritz’s booking date.

Its estimated release date field is blank.

That does not confirm whether Leritz remains in custody or has been released.

The excerpt provides no bail amount, scheduled court hearing, or criminal court file number.

It does not say whether prosecutors have filed a formal charge in District Court.

The booking date may differ from the date or time of the alleged driving incident.

No plea, conviction, sentence, or case outcome appears in the supplied information.

The Becker County Jail is located at 1428 Stony Road in Detroit Lakes.

The county’s official jail website provides facility details and links to inmate information.

Readers can check available public filings through Minnesota Court Records Online.

That service allows searches for many public Minnesota District Court cases.

Some records may not be available online, and booking records can change as cases proceed.

Updated official records may provide further details about the allegation and any court proceedings.

A jail booking is not a finding of guilt.

Leritz is presumed innocent unless proven guilty in court.
