Police Follow SUV to Gas Station<\/h2>\n
According to the complaint, investigators watched Kailee Rae Ostlund place backpacks in a Chevrolet Equinox near Stauss Park.<\/p>\n
Nordine later entered the driver’s seat and drove away, with Ostlund riding as a passenger.<\/p>\n
Police reported that the vehicle passed near Riverside Christian Elementary School.<\/p>\n
Officers also reported a missed stop and an improper turn signal.<\/p>\n
An officer activated emergency lights, and the SUV stopped at a Circle K gas station.<\/p>\n
Investigators identified Nordine as the driver.<\/p>\n
Search Finds Suspected Meth and Cash<\/h2>\n
Police said Nordine had bloodshot, glossy eyes and slurred speech during the stop.<\/p>\n
She completed field sobriety tests before being arrested, according to the complaint.<\/p>\n
During a vehicle search, officers found suspected drug-use items in a backpack.<\/p>\n
Investigators also searched Ostlund’s purse and found $2,805 and a fake Red Bull can with a hidden compartment.<\/p>\n
Inside the can, police found several small bags containing suspected methamphetamine.<\/p>\n
Field tests were positive for methamphetamine, according to the complaint.<\/p>\n
The material weighed about 9.4 grams with its packaging included.<\/p>\n
The document does not report a final laboratory analysis of those substances.<\/p>\n

During a later interview, Nordine reportedly acknowledged smoking methamphetamine with Ostlund earlier that day in Grand Forks.<\/p>\n
She also said she drove to collect her children from school afterward, according to investigators.<\/p>\n
