Bagley Woman Charged After Meth Find

Clearwater County (trfnews.i234.me) — A Bagley woman is facing a felony drug charge after a traffic stop in Clearwater County.

According to a Minnesota District Court complaint, Bridgett Ann Beaulieu, 38, has been charged with fifth-degree controlled substance crime.

The charge was filed in Clearwater County District Court under case number 15-CR-26-174.

Court documents allege Beaulieu possessed about .532 grams of methamphetamine on or about October 7, 2025.

Traffic Stop Led To Arrests

The complaint says a Minnesota State Patrol trooper checked a vehicle registration on County Road 7.

The check reportedly showed expired registration. It also showed the registered owner’s license was suspended.

The vehicle then pulled quickly into a driveway, according to the complaint.

The driver was identified as Scott David Lidstrom. Court documents say the homeowners came outside and said they did not know him.

The complaint says Beaulieu was a passenger in the vehicle. She was allegedly not wearing a seatbelt.

Authorities later learned Lidstrom’s license was canceled as being inimical to public safety. He was placed under arrest.

Court documents say Beaulieu also had an active arrest warrant in a Clearwater County DWI case.

Complaint Alleges Meth Found In Vehicle

According to the complaint, an open alcohol bottle was seen under Beaulieu’s purse.

During a vehicle search, authorities found a small paper bindle in the passenger-side door pocket.

The complaint says the bindle contained a white crystalline substance.

Lidstrom reportedly told authorities the bottle and bindle belonged to Beaulieu.

He also allegedly said she was the only passenger in the vehicle.

Beaulieu told authorities Lidstrom had picked her up that Friday, according to the complaint.

She also reportedly said she had him drive because she was under the influence of alcohol.

A field test allegedly showed the substance was methamphetamine.

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

The complaint says BCA test results showed about .532 grams of methamphetamine.

Felony Charge Filed

Beaulieu is charged under Minnesota Statute 152.025.

The felony charge carries a maximum sentence of five years in prison.

It also carries a possible $10,000 fine, or both.

The complaint also states Beaulieu has an open probation matter in a Clearwater County DWI case.

Court records cited in the complaint say she failed to appear for a hearing on May 6, 2026.

A criminal complaint is an allegation. Beaulieu is presumed innocent unless proven guilty in court.
