Crookston Woman Faces 2 Felony Meth Sale Charges

Crookston (trfnews.i234.me) — A woman from Crookston faces two felony drug-sale charges in Polk County.

Mindy Lynn Kloos, 36, is charged with two counts of third-degree controlled substance sale.

Prosecutors allege Kloos sold methamphetamine during two controlled purchases in March 2026.

The case is filed in Polk County District Court as 60-CR-26-1114.

First Controlled Buy Alleged March 3

The investigation involved a confidential informant working with a regional drug task force.

On March 3, the informant reportedly told investigators that Kloos was obtaining methamphetamine from Grand Forks.

The informant transferred $50 to Kloos through Venmo under law enforcement supervision.

A recorded call was then used to arrange a meeting, according to the complaint.

The informant was searched before going to Kloos’s Crookston residence.

Investigators say no contraband was found before the meeting.

The informant later returned with a bag containing a white crystal-like substance.

The substance weighed about 0.6 grams.

A field test was positive for methamphetamine, according to prosecutors.

The Minnesota Bureau of Criminal Apprehension later confirmed methamphetamine was present.

Investigators arranged another controlled purchase on March 4.

The informant was given $200 in recorded currency and equipped with an audio device.

Kloos allegedly rode with the informant from Crookston to Grand Forks.

Drug task force members followed the vehicle during the trip.

Investigators say Kloos entered an apartment and met with an alleged methamphetamine source.

She then returned to the vehicle and traveled back toward Minnesota.

The complaint says the drug exchange occurred after they returned to Polk County.

The informant later gave investigators a bag containing about 3.4 grams of crystal-like material.

That substance also field-tested positive for methamphetamine.

State laboratory testing later confirmed methamphetamine, according to the complaint.

Kloos faces one felony drug sale count for each alleged transaction.

Each charge carries a maximum sentence of 20 years in prison.

Each count also carries a possible fine of up to $250,000.

Readers can review Minnesota Statute 152.023 for third-degree controlled substance offenses.

Additional court information is available through the Minnesota Judicial Branch.

The charges are allegations and have not been proven in court.

Kloos is presumed innocent unless proven guilty.
