The second alleges possession after a prior drug conviction.<\/p>\n<p>Callais also faces a gross misdemeanor charge for allegedly refusing chemical testing while impaired.<\/p>\n<p>Jane Marie Drury, 69, of Thief River Falls, faces a fifth-degree controlled substance charge.<\/p>\n<h2>Traffic Stop Leads to Search<\/h2>\n<p>The case began near Highway 32 and Sanford Parkway, according to the criminal complaint.<\/p>\n<p>Police reported seeing signs of impairment during the stop. Callais allegedly failed field sobriety testing.<\/p>\n<p>He first agreed to provide a blood sample. He later withdrew consent and allegedly refused blood or urine testing.<\/p>\n<p>Investigators searched the vehicle on July 6 after obtaining a warrant.<\/p>\n<p>They allegedly found several bags containing crystal-like substances inside a duffel bag.<\/p>\n<p>Presumptive tests indicated methamphetamine, according to the complaint.<\/p>\n<p>The bags reportedly weighed about 120.3 grams in their original packaging.<\/p>\n<p>Investigators also reported finding a scale, empty plastic bags, and clothing linked to Callais.<\/p>\n<h2>Second Arrest Follows<\/h2>\n<p>Callais allegedly told investigators he visited Drury\u2019s home before his arrest.<\/p>\n<p>Drury was on supervised probation, and officers later assisted with a probation visit.<\/p>\n<p>Drury allegedly said she expected to test positive for methamphetamine.<\/p>\n<p>A search of her purse allegedly found suspected meth, unused bags, and cut straws.<\/p>\n<p>A probation search of the home found more suspected meth and drug paraphernalia, the complaint states.<\/p>\n<p>Reported bags weighed 6.7, 0.8, and 0.6 grams. Two others weighed 0.3 and 0.2 grams.<\/p>\n<p>Drury declined to speak with investigators after arriving at the Pennington County Jail.<\/p>\n<h2>Cases Remain Pending<\/h2>\n<p>An earlier DWI test-refusal complaint was dismissed. Prosecutors later filed the current complaint with additional charges.<\/p>\n<p>The charges are allegations and have not been proven in court.<\/p>\n<p>Both defendants are presumed innocent unless proven guilty beyond a reasonable doubt.<\/p>\n<p>Readers can review public court information through the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mncourts.gov\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Minnesota Judicial Branch<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>General drug information is available through the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dea.gov\/factsheets\/methamphetamine\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">DEA methamphetamine fact sheet<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;m Adrian Cole, reporting for <a href=\"https:\/\/trfnews.i234.me\">TRF News<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Copyright 2026 TRF News.
