MOORHEAD, Minn. (trfnews.i234.me) – A Moorhead man faces two felony drug charges after investigators allegedly discovered oxycodone and cocaine inside his residence.

Drakarr Alonty Lobley, 28, is charged with two counts of fifth-degree controlled substance possession in Clay County District Court.

Police Search Moorhead Home

According to the criminal complaint, investigators executed a search warrant at Lobley’s Moorhead residence on July 15, 2026.

The search involved the Moorhead Police Department and Clay County Sheriff’s Office.

Lobley was present during the search and confirmed he lived at the residence, according to court documents.

He reportedly shared the home with the children’s mother and three children, ages nine, seven, and two.

During the search, investigators allegedly discovered a clear plastic bag containing four and a half pills marked “M15.”

The pills were found inside a kitchen cabinet beside the refrigerator.

Investigators also reported finding another clear plastic bag containing white powder in the same cabinet.

A preliminary field test indicated the powder contained cocaine, according to the complaint.

Drugs Found in Cabinet Accessible to Children

Investigators reported that the kitchen cabinet was accessible to the three children living inside the residence.

The complaint specifically noted the children’s ages and their access to the area where the suspected drugs were discovered.

However, the two charges listed in the complaint involve drug possession, not child endangerment.

State Laboratory Confirms Oxycodone and Cocaine

On September 1, 2026, investigators received laboratory results from the Minnesota Bureau of Criminal Apprehension.

The laboratory identified the four and a half pills as oxycodone, a controlled prescription pain medication.

Testing also confirmed the white powder contained 0.442 grams of cocaine.

Those findings are included in the statement of probable cause supporting the criminal charges.

Two Felony Drug Charges Filed

Lobley faces two felony counts under Minnesota Statute 152.025.

The first count involves the alleged possession of oxycodone. The second involves the alleged possession of cocaine.

Each count carries a maximum possible penalty of five years in prison, a $10,000 fine, or both.

These penalties represent statutory maximums and do not indicate that any sentence has been imposed.

The complaint lists June 29, 2026, as the offense date. However, its narrative describes the July 15 search.

The filing does not explain the difference between those dates.

The case is filed under Clay County District Court number 14-CR-26-3293.

The allegations have not been proven in court. Lobley is presumed innocent unless proven guilty.
