A Roseville Officer pulled a vehicle over after observing the vehicle drifting onto the shoulder of the road several times. The officer quickly learned that the registered owner (passenger) had a warrant for a previous theft and was arrested and escorted to the back seat of the squad car for the warrant. The driver gave false information as to his identity, likely to avoid being arrested for the three outstanding narcotics warrants under his true name, later determined. Approximately 57 grams of marijuana, 3.5 grams of methamphetamine, and "movie money" (commonly used as counterfeit money) was found inside the vehicle. One adult male from Slayton, MN and one adult male from Arden Hills, MN were arrested for 5th Degree Violation of Controlled Substance Law and their existing warrants. |
