WARREN, Minn.<\/strong> (trfnews.i234.me<\/a>) \u2013 A Newfolden man faces a felony drug possession charge after a disturbance at Dollar General in Warren, Minnesota.<\/p>\n

Derek Lee Boman, 42, of Newfolden<\/strong>, is accused of possessing approximately 0.68 grams of methamphetamine following an October 27, 2026, incident.<\/p>\n

According to a criminal complaint filed in Marshall County District Court, deputies responded after a store employee reported a customer causing problems.<\/p>\n

Deputies Called to Dollar General Disturbance<\/h2>\n

The Marshall County Sheriff’s Office received a call from a Dollar General employee reporting a disturbance inside the Warren store.<\/p>\n

When a deputy arrived, he noticed merchandise scattered across the floors of several aisles.<\/p>\n

According to court documents, the deputy found Boman pushing a shopping cart through the store.<\/p>\n

The deputy reported that Boman was speaking loudly, behaving erratically, and appeared to be under the influence of drugs.<\/p>\n

Investigators said Boman was not following the deputy’s instructions.<\/p>\n

For safety reasons, the deputy placed Boman in handcuffs while investigating the disturbance.<\/p>\n

Store Employee Reports Damaged Merchandise<\/h2>\n

A store employee showed the deputy several areas where merchandise had allegedly been disturbed.<\/p>\n

According to the complaint, Boman had opened a package of shorts and thrown them onto store shelves.<\/p>\n

The employee reported that the merchandise could no longer be sold because its packaging had been opened.<\/p>\n

Authorities placed Boman under arrest for disorderly conduct.<\/p>\n

However, the supplied criminal complaint lists only a felony controlled substance possession charge.<\/p>\n

Drug Pipe and Needle Found During Search<\/h2>\n

Following the arrest, the deputy searched Boman.<\/p>\n

According to court documents, the search revealed a needle and a pipe in his front pocket.<\/p>\n

The deputy described the items as equipment commonly associated with methamphetamine use.<\/p>\n

Boman was then placed inside a patrol vehicle.<\/p>\n

While sitting in the squad car, he allegedly continued reaching toward the front pocket of his bib overalls.<\/p>\n

Man Allegedly Admits Having Methamphetamine<\/h2>\n

The deputy questioned Boman about why he kept reaching into his pocket.<\/p>\n

According to the complaint, Boman acknowledged having methamphetamine in that pocket.<\/p>\n

The deputy recovered a substance that produced a preliminary positive field-test result for methamphetamine.<\/p>\n

The substance weighed approximately 0.68 grams<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

The supplied complaint does not include an independent laboratory confirmation of the substance.<\/p>\n

Previous Drug Conviction Cited<\/h2>\n

The criminal complaint also references a previous drug conviction involving Boman from 2012.<\/p>\n

That case involved possession of methamphetamine with intent to manufacture, according to the complaint.<\/p>\n

Prosecutors cite the current alleged possession amount and Boman’s prior drug history in explaining the felony charge.<\/p>\n

Felony Drug Possession Charge Filed<\/h2>\n

Boman is charged with fifth-degree controlled substance possession under Minnesota Statute 152.025<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The felony charge carries a maximum possible sentence of five years in prison, a $10,000 fine, or both<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

The charge concerns the alleged possession of methamphetamine discovered during the October 27 investigation.<\/p>\n

No separate property damage or disorderly conduct charge appears in the supplied complaint.<\/p>\n

Marshall County Court Case<\/h2>\n

The case is filed in Minnesota’s Ninth Judicial District under court file number 45-CR-26-315<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

The criminal complaint lists an order of detention.<\/p>\n

The allegations have not been proven in court. Boman is presumed innocent unless and until proven guilty.<\/p>\n
