Grand Forks Drug Sting: Two Charged in Meth Sale

GRAND FORKS ( trfnews.i234.me ) — A man and woman from Grand Forks are now facing felony charges after a drug sting operation last September.

Jenny M. Bercier and Kevin J. Forschen have been charged in the case. Court records show the charges include felony delivery of a controlled substance, meth. They also face a felony charge of conspiracy to deliver a controlled substance.

What investigators say happened

According to court documents, the case centers on a controlled buy in Grand Forks. The buy was arranged by the Grand Forks Narcotics Task Force. Authorities say a confidential informant met with the pair during the operation.

Investigators allege Bercier and Forschen sold about 1.8 grams of meth. The reported price was $100. The transaction took place in September, according to the complaint.

Charging documents say the controlled buy was part of a larger sting effort. The goal was to document suspected drug sales. The case was later reviewed for formal charges.
