Naytahwaush Man Charged in Meth Possession Case<\/h2>\n

NAYTAHWAUSH<\/strong> (trfnews.i234.me<\/a>) \u2014 Craige Joe Simon Brown, 25, faces a felony fifth-degree controlled substance charge.<\/p>\n

The case was filed in Becker County District Court.<\/p>\n

The charge follows a May 12 search at a home on Wolf Clan Lane.<\/p>\n

Court records say Brown was present during the search.<\/p>\n

Substance Reportedly Found in Bedroom<\/h2>\n

Investigators searched a basement bedroom that Brown reportedly used.<\/p>\n

They found a dinner plate holding about 0.8 grams of a white crystalline substance.<\/p>\n

The substance field-tested positive for methamphetamine, according to the court record.<\/p>\n

A field test is preliminary and does not replace final laboratory testing.<\/p>\n

The supplied information does not include a laboratory result.<\/p>\n

Other Items Found During Search<\/h2>\n

Investigators also reported finding a glass smoking device with an attached rubber tube.<\/p>\n

Two digital scales were also located in the bedroom.<\/p>\n

The court record does not describe any residue found on the scales.<\/p>\n

It also does not state whether the scales were tested.<\/p>\n

Brown admitted the methamphetamine belonged to him, according to court records.<\/p>\n

The available information does not describe an alleged sale or planned distribution.<\/p>\n

It also does not identify other people who may have been inside the home.<\/p>\n

Fifth-Degree Drug Charge<\/h2>\n

Minnesota law<\/a> covers unlawful possession under its fifth-degree controlled substance statute.<\/p>\n

A conviction under the listed felony offense can bring up to five years in prison.<\/p>\n

The maximum fine is $10,000.<\/p>\n

Those are maximum penalties and do not predict the case outcome.<\/p>\n

Release and Next Hearing<\/h2>\n

Brown was released on May 14 without a monetary bail requirement.<\/p>\n

The court placed him under standard release conditions.<\/p>\n

The supplied record does not list any special restrictions.<\/p>\n

His next appearance was scheduled for July 20, 2026.<\/p>\n

The hearing was set before District Judge Michelle W. Lawson.<\/p>\n

Court schedules can change before the hearing date.<\/p>\n

The Becker County District Court<\/a> is located in Detroit Lakes.<\/p>\n

Public updates may appear through Minnesota Court Records Online<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Charge Remains an Allegation<\/h2>\n

A criminal charge is an accusation and does not establish guilt.<\/p>\n

The complaint presents allegations that may be challenged during court proceedings.<\/p>\n

Brown is presumed innocent unless the charge is proven beyond a reasonable doubt.<\/p>\n
