Detroit Lakes Man Charged After Meth Seizure<\/h2>\n

DETROIT LAKES, Minn. (trfnews.i234.me<\/a>)<\/strong> \u2014 A Detroit Lakes man faces a felony drug charge following a May arrest in Becker County.<\/p>\n

Kyle James Bachmeier, 39, is charged with fifth-degree possession of a controlled substance.<\/p>\n

The charge was filed in Minnesota\u2019s Seventh Judicial District Court. The case carries court file number 03-CR-26-1177.<\/p>\n

A criminal complaint contains allegations. Bachmeier is presumed innocent unless proven guilty in court.<\/p>\n

Arrest Followed Active Warrant<\/h2>\n

According to the complaint, a Becker County deputy saw Bachmeier riding a bicycle on May 21.<\/p>\n

The deputy knew Bachmeier had an active arrest warrant, the complaint states.<\/p>\n

Authorities say Bachmeier reached into a pocket while the deputy approached him. He then allegedly threw an object onto the ground.<\/p>\n

The deputy found a small plastic bag near that location. The bag contained a crystal-like substance, according to the complaint.<\/p>\n

Bachmeier was arrested and informed of his rights. He was later taken to a hospital for treatment of an injury.<\/p>\n

The laboratory identified the substance as about 0.99 grams of methamphetamine, the filing states.<\/p>\n

Methamphetamine is listed as a Schedule II controlled substance under Minnesota law.<\/p>\n

State Requests Arrest Warrant<\/h2>\n

The complaint lists several earlier felony drug convictions involving Bachmeier.<\/p>\n

Those cases were filed in Becker and Clay counties, according to court records cited in the complaint.<\/p>\n

Prosecutors also said Bachmeier had another felony drug case pending in Becker County.<\/p>\n
