Complaint Cites Surveillance Video
The complaint says Anderson stood up and left the chair. As he stood, a clear baggie was seen on the chair. Workers later found the baggie at that spot.
The complaint also states no baggie was seen on the chair before Anderson sat down. Anderson later denied the baggie belonged to him.
A lab report from the Minnesota Bureau of Criminal Apprehension was dated November 11, 2025. The report found methamphetamine in the baggie’s contents.
The substance weighed about 0.319 grams, with a margin of error listed in the report.
Charge Carries Possible Prison Time
Under Minnesota Statute 152.025, fifth-degree controlled substance possession can carry serious penalties.
The complaint lists the maximum sentence as five years in prison, a $10,000 fine, or both.
Anderson is presumed innocent unless proven guilty in court. A criminal complaint is not a conviction. It is a formal claim that must be proven through the court process.
