Cass Lake<\/strong> (trfnews.i234.me<\/a>) \u2014 A Cass Lake woman is facing drug and DWI charges in Beltrami County District Court.<\/p>\n

Lisa Marie Fineday is charged under Court File No. 04-CR-26-862.<\/p>\n

The complaint was filed by the State of Minnesota.<\/p>\n

Fineday is charged with fifth-degree drug possession.<\/p>\n

She is also charged with fourth-degree DWI involving a Schedule I or II controlled substance.<\/p>\n

Traffic Stop On Porcupine Road<\/h2>\n

According to the complaint, the incident happened on December 3, 2025.<\/p>\n

Authorities said a vehicle was stopped near Porcupine Road in Beltrami County.<\/p>\n

The complaint says the vehicle turned without using a signal.<\/p>\n

The driver was identified as Lisa Marie Fineday.<\/p>\n

Authorities then found an active warrant for Fineday\u2019s arrest.<\/p>\n

She was arrested during the stop.<\/p>\n

A bag in Fineday\u2019s possession was searched after the arrest.<\/p>\n

The complaint says the bag contained a small bag with a white crystal substance.<\/p>\n

The substance later tested positive for methamphetamine, according to court records.<\/p>\n

DWI Drug Allegation<\/h2>\n

The complaint says Fineday showed signs of recent drug use.<\/p>\n

Those signs allegedly included constricted pupils.<\/p>\n

Authorities also said her pupils did not react to light.<\/p>\n

Field sobriety testing was then performed.<\/p>\n

During testing, nystagmus was allegedly seen in Fineday\u2019s eyes.<\/p>\n

The complaint says she estimated 30 seconds in 20 actual seconds.<\/p>\n

Fineday allegedly admitted she had smoked methamphetamine the day before.<\/p>\n

A search warrant was later obtained for a blood or urine sample.<\/p>\n

The complaint says the warrant was carried out through a urine test.<\/p>\n

A confirmatory test by the Minnesota Bureau of Criminal Apprehension found methamphetamine.<\/p>\n
