Fargo Woman Charged After Meth Found Near Kids

Cass County (trfnews.i234.me) – A Fargo woman faces a felony charge. The case follows a drug search at a home.

Monica A. Courneya, of Fargo, is charged with endangerment of a child.

Court documents say the charge stems from a Feb. 17 search of her residence.

The search was carried out by the Cass County Drug Task Force.

Authorities say meth and drug paraphernalia were seized during the search.

Authorities also say children were living in the home at the time.

What the court filing says

Court records also show Courneya had outstanding warrants before this case.
