Otter Tail County (trfnews.i234.me) — Kenneth James VanYsseldyk, age 55, has been officially sentenced as of March 24, 2025, on a felony charge under Minnesota Statute 152.025.2(1) for 5th-degree drug possession involving Schedule 1, 2, 3, or 4 substances, excluding small amounts of marijuana.
This level of offense is considered the lowest-level felony for drug crimes in Minnesota but still carries potential penalties of up to 5 years in prison and/or a $10,000 fine, depending on the specifics of the case and criminal history [3].

A 5th-degree drug conviction in Minnesota can result from even residual traces of controlled substances if not marijuana, and sentencing often depends on past offenses and cooperation with authorities.
