Warroad Border Stop Leads to Felony Meth Charge

Warroad (trfnews.i234.me) — A Boy River man faces a felony methamphetamine charge after a border inspection near Warroad.

Clayton Leslie Weyer, 63, is charged with second-degree controlled substance possession.

Prosecutors allege Weyer possessed at least 25 grams of a mixture containing methamphetamine.

The case is filed in Roseau County District Court as 68-CR-26-461.

Vehicle Arrives At Warroad Border Crossing

The investigation began around 7:45 p.m. on August 6, 2026.

A vehicle carrying Weyer arrived at the Warroad Point of Entry, according to the criminal complaint.

The occupants reportedly said they had been working on docks near the border crossing.

They said they were looking for food and accidentally reached Canadian customs.

Canadian authorities turned the vehicle around, and it returned to the United States.

Border officers then directed the occupants to a secondary inspection area.

Both occupants reportedly denied having drugs inside the vehicle.

During the search, officers found a tan military-style backpack in the truck bed.

The complaint says the backpack contained a plastic bag holding a white crystal-like substance.

Officers also found two glass pipes, a scale, a torch lighter, and small plastic bags.

Another used glass pipe was reportedly found beneath the driver’s seat.

A field test returned a presumptive positive result for methamphetamine, according to prosecutors.

The substance and its plastic bag weighed approximately 34.5 grams.

Weyer was then turned over to the Roseau County Sheriff’s Office.

After receiving a Miranda warning, Weyer agreed to speak with investigators.

The complaint says Weyer identified the substance as methamphetamine.

He allegedly said the meth was intended for his personal use.

Investigators also asked whether he planned to sell the methamphetamine.

Weyer reportedly said he sometimes passed some along to close friends.

He denied selling methamphetamine to anyone locally, according to the complaint.

Weyer was arrested and taken to the Roseau County Detention Center.

The second-degree drug charge carries a maximum sentence of 25 years in prison.

It also carries a possible fine of up to $500,000.

The charge is an allegation and has not been proven in court.

Weyer is presumed innocent unless proven guilty.
