Warroad Border Stop Leads to Felony Meth Charge<\/h2>\n

Warroad<\/strong> (trfnews.i234.me<\/a>) \u2014 A Boy River man faces a felony methamphetamine charge after a border inspection near Warroad.<\/p>\n

Clayton Leslie Weyer, 63, is charged with second-degree controlled substance possession.<\/p>\n

Prosecutors allege Weyer possessed at least 25 grams of a mixture containing methamphetamine.<\/p>\n

The case is filed in Roseau County District Court as 68-CR-26-461.<\/p>\n

Vehicle Arrives At Warroad Border Crossing<\/h2>\n

The investigation began around 7:45 p.m. on August 6, 2026.<\/p>\n

A vehicle carrying Weyer arrived at the Warroad Point of Entry, according to the criminal complaint.<\/p>\n

The occupants reportedly said they had been working on docks near the border crossing.<\/p>\n

They said they were looking for food and accidentally reached Canadian customs.<\/p>\n

Canadian authorities turned the vehicle around, and it returned to the United States.<\/p>\n

Border officers then directed the occupants to a secondary inspection area.<\/p>\n

Both occupants reportedly denied having drugs inside the vehicle.<\/p>\n

Backpack Allegedly Contains Meth And Drug Items<\/h2>\n

During the search, officers found a tan military-style backpack in the truck bed.<\/p>\n

The complaint says the backpack contained a plastic bag holding a white crystal-like substance.<\/p>\n

Officers also found two glass pipes, a scale, a torch lighter, and small plastic bags.<\/p>\n

Another used glass pipe was reportedly found beneath the driver’s seat.<\/p>\n

A field test returned a presumptive positive result for methamphetamine, according to prosecutors.<\/p>\n

The substance and its plastic bag weighed approximately 34.5 grams.<\/p>\n

Weyer was then turned over to the Roseau County Sheriff’s Office.<\/p>\n

Weyer Allegedly Admits Meth Was His<\/h2>\n

After receiving a Miranda warning, Weyer agreed to speak with investigators.<\/p>\n

The complaint says Weyer identified the substance as methamphetamine.<\/p>\n

He allegedly said the meth was intended for his personal use.<\/p>\n

Investigators also asked whether he planned to sell the methamphetamine.<\/p>\n

Weyer reportedly said he sometimes passed some along to close friends.<\/p>\n

He denied selling methamphetamine to anyone locally, according to the complaint.<\/p>\n

Weyer was arrested and taken to the Roseau County Detention Center.<\/p>\n

Felony Charge Carries Up To 25 Years<\/h2>\n

The second-degree drug charge carries a maximum sentence of 25 years in prison.<\/p>\n

It also carries a possible fine of up to $500,000.<\/p>\n

Readers can review Minnesota Statute 152.022<\/a> for second-degree drug offenses.<\/p>\n

Information about border inspections is available from U.S. Customs and Border Protection<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The charge is an allegation and has not been proven in court.<\/p>\n

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