A Becker County deputy was on patrol on Highway 59. Court records say the deputy saw a black Ford pickup traveling northbound. The pickup had expired registration.<\/p>\n<p>The deputy turned around and later found the pickup parked near U-Motors. The deputy stopped behind the vehicle and went to the driver\u2019s side.<\/p>\n<p>Sydloski was identified as the driver, according to court records. The records say he appeared to be hiding something in his lap.<\/p>\n<h2>Court Records Say Powder Tested Positive<\/h2>\n<p>Authorities reported finding a white powdery substance with a debit card on top. The powder appeared to weigh more than one gram.<\/p>\n<p>According to court records, the substance field-tested positive for cocaine. Minnesota law covers fifth-degree controlled substance crimes under <a href=\"https:\/\/www.revisor.mn.gov\/statutes\/cite\/152.025\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Minnesota Statute 152.025<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>On May 5, District Judge Michael Fritz issued a stay of adjudication. Under that order, the case may be dismissed if Sydloski completes probation.<\/p>\n<p>Sydloski was ordered to serve 20 days in jail. He received credit for four days already served.<\/p>\n<p>The remaining time may be served on electronic home monitoring. Court records say Sydloski must pay that cost himself.<\/p>\n<h2>Probation Ordered For Five Years<\/h2>\n<p>The court also ordered Sydloski not to drink alcohol or use drugs. He must complete a comprehensive assessment.<\/p>\n<p>He must follow all recommendations from that assessment. Those recommendations include aftercare if ordered.<\/p>\n<p>Sydloski must also complete cognitive skill training. He must follow cognitive behavioral programming as directed.<\/p>\n<p>He was placed on supervised probation for five years.<\/p>\n<p>Public court information can be reviewed through the <a href=\"https:\/\/mncourts.gov\/access-case-records\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Minnesota Judicial Branch Access Case Records<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;m Chris Harper reporting for <a href=\"https:\/\/trfnews.i234.me\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">TRF News<\/a>.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_30869\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-30869\" style=\"width: 396px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\" wp-image-30869\" src=\"https:\/\/trfnews.i234.me\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/Minneapolis-Man-Sentenced-In-Becker-Drug-Case-300x169.png\" alt=\"Minneapolis Man Sentenced In Becker Drug Case\" width=\"396\" height=\"223\" srcset=\"https:\/\/trfnews.i234.me\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/Minneapolis-Man-Sentenced-In-Becker-Drug-Case-300x169.png 300w, https:\/\/trfnews.i234.me\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/Minneapolis-Man-Sentenced-In-Becker-Drug-Case-1024x576.png 1024w, https:\/\/trfnews.i234.me\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/Minneapolis-Man-Sentenced-In-Becker-Drug-Case-768x432.png 768w, https:\/\/trfnews.i234.me\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/Minneapolis-Man-Sentenced-In-Becker-Drug-Case-1536x864.png 1536w, https:\/\/trfnews.i234.me\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/Minneapolis-Man-Sentenced-In-Becker-Drug-Case-1568x882.png 1568w, https:\/\/trfnews.i234.me\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/Minneapolis-Man-Sentenced-In-Becker-Drug-Case.png 1672w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 396px) 100vw, 396px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-30869\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Minneapolis Man Sentenced In Becker Drug Case<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/article>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Minneapolis man Joseph Henry Sydloski sentenced in Becker County drug case after cocaine was found during a Highway 59 stop.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":30869,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":"","_wpscp_schedule_draft_date":"","_wpscp_schedule_republish_date":"","_wpscppro_advance_schedule":false,"_wpscppro_advance_schedule_date":"","_wpscppro_dont_share_socialmedia":false,"_wpscppro_custom_social_share_image":0,"_facebook_share_type":"","_twitter_share_type":"","_linkedin_share_type":"","_pinterest_share_type":"","_linkedin_share_type_page":"","_instagram_share_type":"","_medium_share_type":"","_threads_share_type":"","_google_business_share_type":"","_selected_social_profile":[],"_wpsp_enable_custom_social_template":false,"_wpsp_social_scheduling":{"enabled":false,"datetime":null,"platforms":[],"status":"template_only","dateOption":"today","timeOption":"now","customDays":"","customHours":"","customDate":"","customTime":"","schedulingType":"absolute"},"_wpsp_active_default_template":true},"categories":[12],"tags":[18077,18080,5234,18079,18078,18076,1025],"class_list":["post-30868","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-crime","tag-becker-county-drug-case","tag-cocaine-case","tag-felony-drug-charge","tag-highway-59-arrest","tag-joseph-henry-sydloski","tag-minneapolis-man-sentenced","tag-minnesota-court-records","entry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/trfnews.i234.me\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/30868","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/trfnews.i234.me\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/trfnews.i234.me\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/trfnews.i234.me\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/trfnews.i234.me\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=30868"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/trfnews.i234.me\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/30868\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":30870,"href":"https:\/\/trfnews.i234.me\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/30868\/revisions\/30870"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/trfnews.i234.me\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/30869"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/trfnews.i234.me\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=30868"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/trfnews.i234.me\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=30868"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/trfnews.i234.me\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=30868"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
