Detroit Lakes Woman Faces Fentanyl, Oxycodone Charges

Detroit Lakes (trfnews.i234.me) — A Detroit Lakes woman faces two felony drug charges following a March traffic stop.

Jayme Leigh Gullickson, 39, is charged in Otter Tail County District Court.

She faces fifth-degree possession charges involving fentanyl and oxycodone.

The alleged offenses happened on March 31, 2026, according to the criminal complaint.

Traffic Stop Leads to Search

An Otter Tail County deputy stopped Gullickson’s vehicle around 11:30 p.m.

The complaint says the driver’s side headlight was not working correctly.

Gullickson reportedly told the deputy there was a short in the headlight.

She also said she did not have her driver’s license with her.

During the stop, the deputy noticed a pill bottle inside the vehicle.

The bottle allegedly contained pills inside a plastic bag without a prescription label.

Gullickson said the pills belonged to her daughter, according to court records.

She reportedly said her daughter had removed them from their original bottle.

The complaint says Gullickson allowed the deputy to search a black case inside her purse.

Authorities reported finding small bags, cut straws, foil, scales, and a white powder.

A glass pipe with white residue was also found inside the purse, court records state.

Investigators also reported finding unused syringes and a butane container inside the vehicle.

The pipe residue field-tested positive for methamphetamine, according to the complaint.

The white powder initially field-tested positive for cocaine.

However, later laboratory testing produced a different finding.

The substance was sent to the Minnesota Bureau of Criminal Apprehension for testing.

The laboratory reported 2.5 grams of material containing fentanyl.

Authorities also reported finding eight pills believed to be oxycodone.

Those findings led prosecutors to file two felony counts against Gullickson.

Each count carries a maximum sentence of five years in prison.

Each also carries a possible fine of up to $10,000.

The court case was filed with a summons in Minnesota’s Seventh Judicial District.

Criminal charges are allegations. Gullickson is presumed innocent unless proven guilty in court.

More court information is available through the Minnesota Judicial Branch.
