CLEARWATER COUNTY, Minn.<\/strong> (trfnews.i234.me<\/a>) \u2013 A Bagley man faces two gross misdemeanor charges after allegedly purchasing alcohol for two underage girls.<\/p>\n

According to court documents, one of the girls became severely intoxicated and was taken to an emergency room.<\/p>\n

Garrett Timothy Nepean, 23, of Bagley, is charged with contributing to the delinquency of a minor and furnishing alcohol to minors.<\/p>\n

Parents Search for Missing 14-Year-Old Girl<\/h3>\n

According to the criminal complaint, the investigation began around 3 a.m. on July 27, 2025.<\/p>\n

Parents approached a Bagley police officer while searching for their 14-year-old daughter.<\/p>\n

The parents said they had learned that their daughter’s friend was being taken to an emergency room.<\/p>\n

However, they initially did not know where their daughter was.<\/p>\n

Police later learned the parents had located the girl.<\/p>\n

When an officer spoke with her, she reportedly appeared intoxicated.<\/p>\n

Teenagers Allegedly Received Alcohol From Adult<\/h3>\n

The 14-year-old told investigators that she and her friend had received alcohol from a 21-year-old man.<\/p>\n

According to the complaint, the girl’s mother identified the man as Garrett Timothy Nepean after reviewing her daughter’s phone.<\/p>\n

Nepean was 21 years old at the time of the alleged incident.<\/p>\n

Investigators subsequently contacted the other girl’s parents.<\/p>\n

Her father reported finding his daughter near a golf cart, covered in vomit.<\/p>\n

He told police she had become intoxicated after drinking alcohol allegedly provided by Nepean.<\/p>\n

The girl was taken to an emergency room for medical attention.<\/p>\n

Girls Tell Police They Requested Alcohol<\/h3>\n

After the second girl recovered from her intoxication, investigators obtained a statement from her.<\/p>\n

She reportedly admitted drinking too much alcohol during the incident.<\/p>\n

According to court documents, both girls had contacted an adult named Garrett and asked him to obtain alcohol.<\/p>\n

The girl alleged that Nepean purchased the alcohol and later met with them.<\/p>\n

Investigators also interviewed the 14-year-old, who reportedly provided a similar account.<\/p>\n

She acknowledged wanting to drink and asking Nepean to obtain alcohol for them.<\/p>\n

According to the complaint, Nepean later met the girls after they consumed the alcohol.<\/p>\n

The 14-year-old reportedly rode around with Nepean while her friend drove a golf cart.<\/p>\n

Nepean allegedly returned the girl to her friend’s residence afterward.<\/p>\n

Police Forward Case for Prosecution<\/h3>\n

Investigators learned that Nepean and the 14-year-old had reportedly been communicating for several months.<\/p>\n

The girl’s mother also reported that Nepean frequently rode his dirt bike past their residence.<\/p>\n

Police attempted to contact Nepean at his home but were unsuccessful.<\/p>\n

The investigation was forwarded to the Clearwater County Attorney’s Office for review.<\/p>\n

Two Gross Misdemeanor Charges Filed<\/h3>\n

Nepean faces two gross misdemeanor charges in Clearwater County District Court.<\/p>\n

Count 1:<\/strong> Contributing to the delinquency of a minor under Minnesota Statute 260B.425<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Count 2:<\/strong> Furnishing alcoholic beverages to individuals under 21 under Minnesota Statute 340A.503<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Each charge carries a maximum penalty of 364 days in jail, a $3,000 fine, or both.<\/p>\n

The complaint lists July 25, 2025, as the offense date, although its narrative describes July 27.<\/p>\n

The filing does not explain the difference.<\/p>\n

The case is filed under Clearwater County District Court number 15-CR-26-342.<\/p>\n

The charges remain allegations. Nepean is presumed innocent unless proven guilty in court.<\/p>\n
