Beltrami County (trfnews.i234.me) — A Bemidji woman is facing felony and gross misdemeanor charges after a drug search at a home in Beltrami County, according to a newly filed criminal complaint.
Prosecutors charged Savannah Krystine Grangruth, 38, with fifth-degree drug possession and contributing to the need for child protection or services.
What the complaint says
According to the complaint, agents with the Paul Bunyan Drug Task Force executed a search warrant on March 6, 2026, at a residence on Archery Road Northwest.
The complaint says Grangruth, another adult identified as T.J., and two juveniles were inside the home when officers arrived.
Investigators reported finding drug paraphernalia in several rooms. They also found a scale with a white substance, a vial with about 7.5 grams of a substance, and other items tied to drug use.
The complaint says those items field-tested positive for methamphetamine.
Authorities said T.J. told investigators the paraphernalia belonged to Grangruth. The complaint says Grangruth later said the items belonged to both adults.
After Grangruth was booked into the Beltrami County Jail, the complaint says staff found a small bag in her pocket. That bag held about 0.6 grams of a substance.
That material is still awaiting confirmatory testing, according to the complaint.
Children placed on protective hold
The complaint says the condition of the residence led authorities to place the two children on 72-hour protective holds.
That allegation led to the gross misdemeanor child protection charge.
Court records show the drug charge is a felony. The child protection count is a gross misdemeanor.
Prior record and case status
The complaint also lists prior convictions for Grangruth. Those include a 2023 fourth-degree DWI and 2021 misdemeanor convictions for obstructing legal process and disorderly conduct.
The complaint lists March 9, 2026, as the offense date for both counts.
As with all criminal cases, the charges are only allegations. Grangruth is presumed innocent unless proven guilty in court.
