Police Locate Man Wanted on Drug Warrant<\/h2>\n

According to court documents, Brainerd police received information about Hatchard’s whereabouts on October 30.<\/p>\n

Officers learned he was reportedly inside a garage on the 1200 block of Southeast 11th Street in Brainerd.<\/p>\n

Authorities also learned Hatchard had an active arrest warrant from Wadena County.<\/p>\n

The warrant was connected to a first-degree controlled substance case, numbered 80-CR-26-801.<\/p>\n

Officers responded to the residence and received permission from the occupants to enter.<\/p>\n

They reportedly located Hatchard in a hallway connecting the home and garage.<\/p>\n

The substance reportedly tested positive for methamphetamine, a Schedule II controlled substance.<\/p>\n
