Grand Forks Co. Man Arrested, Faces Drug Charge in Jail

GRAND FORKS COUNTY (trfnews.i234.me) – A Grand Forks man is facing multiple charges after being arrested on an active warrant and later found with drugs inside the county jail.

Just after 1 p.m. on September 24, officers with the Grand Forks Police Department recognized Ryan Baker, who had an outstanding warrant. When approached, Baker attempted to flee on foot. Police used a takedown to stop him and placed him under arrest.

Baker was taken to the Grand Forks County Correctional Center. During intake, law enforcement discovered a piece of tin foil with a white substance hidden on him. A field test returned positive results for methamphetamine.

Along with his warrant arrest, Baker is now facing additional charges of refusal to halt, resisting arrest, and possession of a controlled substance in a correctional facility.

This case remains under investigation. For more details on correctional facility drug laws and charges, visit the North Dakota Courts or the DEA.
