Crow Wing County<\/strong> (trfnews.i234.me<\/a>) \u2014 Britney M. Hagerty of Brainerd is facing a major drug charge after a traffic stop near Grand Casino Max.<\/p>\n

Tip reported before the stop<\/h2>\n

According to court documents, Max Tribal Police received a tip on January 29.<\/p>\n

The tip said Hagerty would be traveling through the reservation area.<\/p>\n

The tip also claimed she was carrying a large amount of meth.<\/p>\n

A Crow Wing County deputy later stopped her near the Grand Casino Max, the filing says.<\/p>\n

During the stop, officers allegedly found more than 180 grams of meth.<\/p>\n

Court complaints often summarize what police say happened during an investigation.<\/p>\n

More details can be added later through hearings and filed reports.<\/p>\n

First-degree possession charge<\/h2>\n

Hagerty is charged with first-degree possession of methamphetamine.<\/p>\n

Under Minnesota law, first-degree possession includes 50 grams or more of meth.<\/p>\n

That threshold is listed in Minn. Stat. \u00a7 152.021<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Prosecutors allege the amount in this case was well above that level.<\/p>\n

First-degree controlled substance cases are felony charges.<\/p>\n

If convicted, the crime can carry up to 30 years in prison.<\/p>\n

It can also carry a fine up to $1 million.<\/p>\n

The maximum penalty is listed in the statute\u2019s penalty section.<\/p>\n

What happens next<\/h2>\n

The case will move through standard court steps.<\/p>\n

Those steps can include an initial appearance and future hearings.<\/p>\n

Any bail or release terms are set by the court.<\/p>\n

Public case updates may appear on Minnesota Court Records Online (MCRO)<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Sentences can also depend on a person\u2019s record and the guidelines grid.<\/p>\n

The Minnesota Sentencing Guidelines Commission<\/a> publishes the state\u2019s felony guidelines.<\/p>\n

Final outcomes can also change through plea talks or a trial.<\/p>\n

Charges are allegations and do not prove guilt.<\/p>\n

A defendant is presumed innocent unless convicted in court.<\/p>\n
