Detroit Lakes Man Faces 2 Drug Counts, License Charge

Detroit Lakes (trfnews.i234.me) — Teddy Raymond Millage Jr. was booked into the Becker County Jail on September 2, 2026.

The jail roster lists three charges against Millage, who is listed as 33 years old.

Two entries involve fifth-degree controlled substance possession.

A third alleges driving after cancellation under Minnesota’s public-safety license provision.

The roster lists an estimated release date of September 19, 2026.

Two Drug Possession Counts Listed

Both drug counts cite Minnesota Statute 152.025, subdivision 2(a)(1).

The entries describe alleged possession of Schedule I, II, III, or IV controlled substances.

The statute excludes cannabis and certain hemp products from this specific provision.

The jail information does not identify the substances allegedly involved.

It also does not list the amounts authorities allegedly found.

No police report or criminal complaint was included with the booking information.

The two roster entries appear separately, but no facts distinguish the counts.

Additional court documents may explain why two drug charges are listed.

Minnesota Statute 152.025 sets different penalties for fifth-degree possession.

Certain small possession cases can be classified as gross misdemeanors.

That exception depends on the amount and whether a qualifying prior drug conviction exists.

Other fifth-degree possession cases can carry felony penalties.

A felony conviction under the statute can carry up to five years.

The maximum fine can reach $10,000.

The roster does not provide enough information to determine the level of Millage’s drug counts.

The third booking entry cites Minnesota Statute 171.24, subdivision 5.

The charge involves driving after a license cancellation or denial tied to public-safety concerns.

That offense is classified as a gross misdemeanor.

A gross misdemeanor can carry up to 364 days in jail.

It can also carry a fine of up to $3,000.

Those maximum penalties do not represent a sentence in Millage’s case.

The Becker County Jail is located in Detroit Lakes.

A jail booking and criminal charges do not establish Millage’s guilt.

Millage is presumed innocent unless proven guilty in court.
