Pennington County (trfnews.i234.me) — Carla Swenson is being held in the Pennington County Jail after court records listed four felony drug charges in District Court.
The booking record shows Swenson was taken into custody on April 6, 2026. The listed bail or fine amount is $0.00. No court date was shown in the booking details provided here.
Four Charges Listed Across Three Cases
The jail entry shows one second-degree drug possession charge under case number 265274. That count cites Minnesota statute 152.022.2(a)(1). The short description says it involves possession of 25 grams or more of cocaine or methamphetamine.
The record also shows a first-degree drug possession charge under case number 260000106. That charge cites Minnesota statute 152.021.2(a)(5). The short description says it involves possession of 500 grams, or 500 dosage units or more, of amphetamine, PCP, or hallucinogens.
That same case number also includes a third-degree possession charge under Minnesota statute 152.023.2(a)(6). The booking entry says it involves methamphetamine or amphetamine in a school zone, park zone, or public housing zone.
A second third-degree possession charge appears under case number 25000215. It lists the same statute and the same short charge description. All four listed counts are marked as felonies in District Court.
The jail record also lists Swenson as 5 feet, 8 inches tall and 170 pounds. It lists brown hair and brown eyes.
What The Public Record Shows
This jail listing is a short public record. It shows the booking date, the listed charges, and the court branch. It does not include a criminal complaint, police narrative, or witness statements.
Because of that, many facts may still be missing from public view. More details often appear after formal court filings are posted online. The repeated third-degree charge may reflect a separate case file, but the jail entry does not explain the reason.
A criminal charge is an accusation. It is not a conviction. The case must move through court before any final outcome is decided.
