Callaway Man Charged With Drug DWI, Child in Car<\/h2>\n

CALLAWAY, Minn.<\/strong> \u2014 (trfnews.i234.me)<\/a> \u2014 Anthony Leroy Vasecka faces two gross misdemeanor DWI charges in Becker County.<\/p>\n

The charges follow a June 11, 2026, traffic stop, according to a criminal complaint filed in district court.<\/p>\n

Vasecka is charged with driving under the influence of a controlled substance. He also faces a drug-presence DWI charge.<\/p>\n

That charge involves an alleged Schedule I or Schedule II substance or its metabolite.<\/p>\n

Both counts cite two alleged aggravating factors. The complaint lists a prior DWI case and a child inside the vehicle.<\/p>\n

Each count carries a maximum sentence of 364 days in jail. Each also allows a fine of up to $3,000.<\/p>\n

Traffic Stop Leads to DWI Investigation<\/h2>\n

A Becker County deputy reported seeing a vehicle with a cracked windshield. An object was also hanging from the rearview mirror.<\/p>\n

The vehicle\u2019s license plate was partly blocked, according to the complaint. The deputy later read the full plate.<\/p>\n

The deputy believed the vehicle belonged to Vasecka. The deputy also knew Vasecka\u2019s driver\u2019s license was revoked.<\/p>\n

During the stop, the deputy reported seeing glossy eyes and enlarged pupils. Those observations led to field sobriety tests.<\/p>\n

The complaint says Vasecka performed poorly on a horizontal gaze test. However, no impairment signs appeared during another walking test.<\/p>\n

During a timing test, Vasecka estimated that 30 seconds had passed. The complaint says about 45 seconds had passed.<\/p>\n

Vasecka allegedly admitted to using methamphetamine on June 8. He also allegedly reported marijuana use on the stop date.<\/p>\n

A child born in 2020 was also inside the vehicle, according to the complaint.<\/p>\n

Urine Sample Sent for Testing<\/h2>\n

Vasecka was arrested and taken to jail. A search warrant was then obtained for a urine sample.<\/p>\n

The complaint says Vasecka provided the sample. It was expected to be sent to the Minnesota Bureau of Criminal Apprehension<\/a>.<\/p>\n

No laboratory result was included in the complaint. The drug-presence charge remains an allegation filed by prosecutors.<\/p>\n

The complaint also references an earlier DWI case. It lists another DWI case that was still pending.<\/p>\n

Readers can review Minnesota\u2019s impaired-driving law<\/a> through the Minnesota Revisor of Statutes.<\/p>\n

Public case information may be available through the Minnesota Judicial Branch<\/a>.<\/p>\n

A criminal complaint contains allegations, not proof of guilt. Vasecka is presumed innocent unless proven guilty in court.<\/p>\n
