Hubbard County (trfnews.i234.me) — A Park Rapids man faces two felony drug charges after a search warrant. The case was filed in Hubbard County District Court.
Ryan Anthony Burnos, 44, is charged with third-degree sale of methamphetamine. The sale charge is listed under Minnesota Statute 152.023. He is also charged with fifth-degree possession of methamphetamine. The possession charge is listed under Minnesota Statute 152.025.
The prosecutor’s file number is 26CR01062. The court file number is 29-CR-26-136.
Search and traffic stop
According to the criminal complaint, officers served a warrant on Feb. 13, 2026. The location was 23203 County Road 4 in Hubbard County. The search involved the Paul Bunyan Drug Task Force and other agencies.
As officers headed to the home, two people left in a vehicle, prosecutors allege. Burnos rode in the front passenger seat. His mother was also in the vehicle.
Police stopped the vehicle near Park Rapids, the complaint says. Officers found a black magnetic box on Burnos’s lap. Prosecutors say it held $444 in cash.
Items found in the home
During the search, investigators reported an operating money counter in the living room. They also reported drug items in a north bedroom.
The complaint lists bags and containers with a crystal-like material. Police say it field-tested positive for methamphetamine. Investigators also reported two digital scales with residue. They reported a measuring scoop with residue.
Police listed many small “micro” bags in that bedroom. One container held 278 empty bags, the complaint says. Officers also reported more than a dozen glass pipes. Police say the pipes are often used to smoke meth.
Investigators reported mail addressed to Burnos in a trash can. They also reported Burnos’ Minnesota ID card in the room. The suspected meth weighed 3.44 grams, including packaging, the complaint says.
Prosecutors also describe a notebook with handwritten numbers. They say it appeared to be a drug ledger. The complaint does not list a claimed sale amount.
Background and next steps
Burnos did not answer questions, the complaint says. He asked for a lawyer.
The complaint also lists prior Hubbard County convictions for Burnos. Those include fifth-degree drug possession cases. The list also includes felony fleeing convictions.
A charge is an accusation. Burnos is presumed innocent unless proven guilty. Readers can track the case on Minnesota Court Records Online (MCRO).
