What Investigators Say

During the search, officials reported finding a small baggie that tested as methamphetamine.

Records say Bridget Nicole Wagner told officials she traveled to Fargo to buy meth.

Officials also reported finding items they described as drug paraphernalia.

They also seized a safe, according to the filing.

The safe held $2,685 in cash, court documents allege.

The filing does not list the weight of the suspected meth.

TRF News is not naming the supervising officers listed in the paperwork.

Charges Filed

Wagner is charged with possession with intent to deliver methamphetamine.

She is also charged with possession of drug paraphernalia.

Both counts are filed as felonies in Grand Forks County court.

Prosecutors must prove the charges beyond a reasonable doubt in court.

A charging document is not proof of guilt.

Wagner is presumed innocent unless convicted.

Future hearing dates are typically posted to the public case record once scheduled.

Attorneys can file motions that ask a judge to review evidence and procedure.

Lab testing and search reports are often reviewed in drug cases.

Seized cash and other items can be held as evidence while a case is pending.

Any sentence would be decided later, if there is a conviction.
