According to a laboratory report dated June 30, 2026, the substance was confirmed as methamphetamine.<\/p>\n
The confirmed weight was 0.717 grams.<\/p>\n
Those laboratory findings became part of the evidence supporting the criminal charge.<\/p>\n
The complaint does not allege that Reamer was selling methamphetamine during the incident.<\/p>\n
Previous Drug Convictions Cited<\/h2>\n
The complaint also outlines Reamer’s previous controlled substance convictions.<\/p>\n
According to court records, Reamer was convicted of third-degree drug possession in a school zone on June 18, 2026.<\/p>\n
That Polk County case involved an incident dated March 26, 2026.<\/p>\n
The complaint also lists two previous Wisconsin felony methamphetamine possession convictions.<\/p>\n
Those cases were filed in Pierce County and Eau Claire County.<\/p>\n
Prosecutors cited the prior convictions as part of Reamer’s criminal history.<\/p>\n
