Nevis Resident Booked on DWI, Drug, Theft Allegations

CASS COUNTY (trfnews.i234.me) — Casey Thomas, 45, of Nevis, was booked into the Cass County Jail Tuesday afternoon.

Jail records list the booking time as 2:30 p.m. on July 7, 2026.

Thomas faces four allegations connected to the arrest. They involve controlled-substance DWI, fifth-degree drug possession, theft, and providing false identification information.

Booking Allegations

The DWI allegation cites Minnesota Statute 169A.20, subdivision 1(2). That law covers driving while under the influence of a controlled substance.

The drug allegation cites Minnesota Statute 152.025, subdivision 2(a)(1). The statute covers certain possession offenses involving Schedule I through IV controlled substances.

The booking record says the drug allegation excludes cannabis and hemp. Each listed offense was recorded as an adult arrest.

The theft allegation cites Minnesota Statute 609.52, subdivision 2(a)(1). It concerns taking, using, or transferring movable property without the owner’s consent.

The final allegation cites Minnesota Statute 609.506, subdivision 1. That law addresses false names, birth dates, or altered identification given to officers.

Limited Details Released

The booking entry does not identify the controlled substance involved. It also does not describe the property connected to the theft allegation.

No details were provided about the traffic stop, arrest location, or investigating agency.

The supplied booking details did not include a bond amount or scheduled court date. Booking allegations may differ from charges later filed in court.

The Cass County Detention Center maintains custody records and jail information. Booking entries reflect allegations recorded at the time of arrest.

Readers can review the cited laws through the Minnesota Revisor of Statutes. The relevant sections cover DWI, fifth-degree drug offenses, theft, and false identification information.

Case Remains Pending

An arrest does not establish guilt. Thomas is presumed innocent unless proven guilty in court.

Future court filings may provide more details about the allegations and possible penalties. The public record should be checked for later updates.
