Cass Lake Man Jailed on DWI, Theft Allegations<\/h2>\n

CASS LAKE<\/strong> (trfnews.i234.me<\/a>) \u2014 A Cass Lake man was recently booked into the Cass County Jail on several allegations.<\/p>\n

River Phoenix Shady, 36, was booked at 7:13 p.m. on July 22, 2026.<\/p>\n

The jail record lists allegations involving theft, fleeing, impaired driving, and a canceled driver\u2019s license.<\/p>\n

The record identifies each entry as an adult arrest.<\/p>\n

Theft and Fleeing Allegations<\/h2>\n

Shady faces an alleged theft charge under Minnesota Statute 609.52, subdivision 2(a)(1).<\/p>\n

The listed offense involves taking, using, or transferring movable property without the owner\u2019s consent.<\/p>\n

The booking information did not identify the property or its reported value.<\/p>\n

The theft statute is available through the Minnesota Revisor of Statutes<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The charge was listed under Minnesota Statute 609.487, subdivision 6.<\/p>\n

Controlled Substance DWI Allegations<\/h2>\n

Two impaired-driving allegations were also included in the jail record.<\/p>\n

One alleges operating a vehicle while under the influence of a controlled substance.<\/p>\n

Another alleges driving with a Schedule I or Schedule II drug in the body.<\/p>\n

The booking record described the second allegation as third-degree DWI.<\/p>\n

Minnesota Statute 169A.20 lists several acts that may qualify as impaired driving.<\/p>\n

The law includes driving while under the influence of a controlled substance.<\/p>\n

It also covers driving with certain controlled substances present in the body.<\/p>\n

Readers can view the law through the Minnesota Revisor of Statutes<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Canceled License Allegation<\/h2>\n

Shady also faces an allegation of driving after license cancellation.<\/p>\n

The record states the cancellation was considered inimical to public safety.<\/p>\n

That term applies when officials determine someone\u2019s driving may threaten public safety.<\/p>\n

The alleged violation was listed under Minnesota Statute 171.24, subdivision 5.<\/p>\n

The statute is available on the Minnesota Legislature\u2019s website<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The booking summary did not include bond information or a court date.<\/p>\n

A jail booking is not proof that a person committed a crime.<\/p>\n

Shady is presumed innocent unless proven guilty through the court process.<\/p>\n
