Charge Filed in Roseau County

According to the complaint, the case stems from a traffic stop near State Highway 11 and County Road 28. A state trooper stopped a Chevrolet Silverado after seeing that its third brake light was not working.

The driver was identified as Anderson. The complaint states that his driver’s license was expired. The report also says he showed signs of impairment during the stop.

After field sobriety testing, Anderson was arrested on suspicion of driving under the influence of drugs. A later search of the pickup led to the discovery of a zippered case between the driver’s seat and center console, the complaint says.

What Investigators Found

Inside the case, authorities reported finding a smoking device and a baggie of suspected methamphetamine. The complaint states that the substance later field tested positive for methamphetamine.

Investigators said the substance weighed about 0.85 grams on a digital scale.

Possible Penalty

The charge is listed under Minnesota Statute 152.025. Court records show the offense is a gross misdemeanor. The listed maximum penalty is 364 days in jail, a $3,000 fine, or both.

A criminal complaint contains allegations. It is not a conviction. Anderson is presumed innocent unless proven guilty in court.
