First-Degree Drug Possession Charge

The listed offense involves possessing 500 grams or more of a mixture containing certain narcotic drugs.

The law covers narcotics other than cocaine, heroin, fentanyl, or methamphetamine.

Those substances have separate provisions under Minnesota’s controlled substance laws.

The charge is among the most serious drug possession offenses under state law.

However, the jail listing does not provide laboratory results or evidence supporting the allegation.

It also does not state where the alleged possession occurred.

A first-degree controlled substance conviction can carry significant criminal penalties.

Under Minnesota Statute 152.021, a conviction can carry up to 30 years in prison.

The law also allows a fine of up to $1 million, or both penalties.

These are maximum penalties, not a sentence imposed against Kier.

Any sentence would depend on the court’s findings and applicable sentencing laws.

The Becker County Jail entry identifies Kier as 54 years old.

His booking date is listed as October 14, 2026.

No estimated release date appears in the information provided.

The supplied record also does not include a bail amount or scheduled court appearance.

The booking entry alone does not confirm whether formal charges have been filed in court.

It also does not establish whether Kier remains in custody.

Kier is presumed innocent unless proven guilty in court.

The Becker County Jail is located at 1428 Stony Road in Detroit Lakes, Minnesota.

The facility operates under the Becker County Sheriff’s Office.

Readers can find custody information through the official Becker County Jail website.

Jail records may change following hearings, release decisions, or other legal developments.

Public court information may also be available through Minnesota Court Records Online.

Additional records would be needed to confirm Kier’s court schedule or the outcome of the allegation.
