Crookston Woman Faces 3 Charges in Child Drug Case<\/h2>\n

Crookston<\/strong> (trfnews.i234.me<\/a>) \u2014 A Crookston woman faces three charges following a July drug investigation.<\/p>\n

Jayme Lee Walden, 37, is charged in Polk County District Court.<\/p>\n

She faces two felony drug charges and one gross misdemeanor DWI charge.<\/p>\n

The case is filed under Polk County court file 60-CR-26-1092.<\/p>\n

Search Warrant Executed At Crookston Home<\/h2>\n

A child protection report led police to seek a search warrant for a North Front Street residence.<\/p>\n

The report alleged ongoing drug sales involving children living at the home.<\/p>\n

Police obtained the warrant and searched the residence on July 30, 2026.<\/p>\n

Before the search, investigators saw Walden leave the home in a GMC Acadia.<\/p>\n

Police contacted her later in a Crookston Walmart parking lot.<\/p>\n

The complaint says Walden initially denied drug activity.<\/p>\n

She later allegedly admitted using methamphetamine that morning.<\/p>\n

Walden also told investigators that methamphetamine items could be found inside the garage.<\/p>\n

Methamphetamine And Drug Items Reported<\/h2>\n

Investigators reported finding suspected methamphetamine, syringes, smoking devices, and other drug-related items.<\/p>\n

A black bag allegedly contained about 1.8 grams of suspected methamphetamine.<\/p>\n

Police also found a mirror containing residue that field-tested positive for methamphetamine.<\/p>\n

A prescription bottle containing Suboxone was also found, according to the complaint.<\/p>\n

Suboxone contains buprenorphine, which Minnesota classifies as a Schedule III controlled substance.<\/p>\n

Complaint Alleges Children Delivered Suboxone<\/h2>\n

After receiving a Miranda warning, Walden provided another statement to investigators.<\/p>\n

Prosecutors allege she admitted that drug sales had occurred from the residence.<\/p>\n

Walden allegedly said children had been directed to deliver Suboxone to buyers at the door.<\/p>\n

She allegedly told investigators the children were told they were delivering medicine.<\/p>\n

The complaint says this activity had occurred since March 2026.<\/p>\n

Walden was arrested and taken to the Northwest Regional Corrections Center.<\/p>\n

DWI Charge Also Filed<\/h2>\n

Walden also provided a urine sample that field-tested positive for methamphetamine, according to prosecutors.<\/p>\n

She had driven earlier that day before police contacted her.<\/p>\n

Prosecutors charged her with third-degree DWI involving a controlled substance.<\/p>\n

The complaint cites a previous DWI conviction from 2018 as an aggravating factor.<\/p>\n

The most serious drug charge carries up to 20 years in prison.<\/p>\n

It also carries a possible fine of $250,000.<\/p>\n

Readers can review Minnesota’s third-degree controlled substance law<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The child methamphetamine exposure law is available under Minnesota Statute 152.137<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The charges are allegations and have not been proven in court.<\/p>\n

Walden is presumed innocent unless proven guilty.<\/p>\n
