Fifth-Degree Drug Offense Listed

The first listed offense falls under Minnesota Statute 152.025, subdivision 2(a)(2)(i).

This provision covers obtaining, attempting to obtain, possessing, or controlling a controlled substance through fraud or deceit.

The law also addresses misrepresentation and other deceptive methods used to obtain controlled substances.

The jail record identifies the offense as a sentenced gross misdemeanor matter.

However, the supplied information does not identify the controlled substance involved.

It also does not explain the reported circumstances or describe how the substance was obtained.

The cited drug provision can authorize felony-level penalties, even though the jail lists a gross misdemeanor sentence.
