Personnel:

Sergeant Carey Ferrell will be finishing up in

a light duty capacity this week; he has been

fully cleared by his doctor to return to his

normal patrol duties next week.

Detectives:

This week Detectives Holman and Berg were

traveling on I-35 when a vehicle passed them

at a high rate of speed. A traffic stop was

performed and as detectives approached the

vehicle an odor of marijuana was discovered

coming from inside. In addition, the driver of

the vehicle had a revoked license and an

outstanding warrant for his arrest. Upon

further investigation, a small amount of

marijuana was discovered inside the vehicle.

The driver was arrested and transported to

the Carlton County Law Enforcement Center

where it was further discovered that he had

12 bindles of Heroin in his possession. The

suspect, a 21-year-old Cloquet man, was

formally charged with possession of heroin

and introducing contraband and/or drugs into

a jail facility.

Patrol:

On Tuesday Sergeant Palmer attempted to

perform a traffic stop on a vehicle for

expired registration. The driver failed to stop

and a short pursuit took place. The driver of

the vehicle ultimately exited his vehicle and

fled on foot. Palmer pursued the suspect on

foot for several blocks ultimately locating and

taking him into custody without incident.

Through the investigation it was learned the

reason why the defendant was fleeing from

Palmer was the fact that he had baggies

containing methamphetamine. The suspect, a

22-year-old Cloquet man, was lodged at the

Carlton County Law Enforcement Center.

The suspect was formally charged with

Possession of a Controlled Substance, Fleeing

a Police Officer in a Motor Vehicle, Fleeing

on Foot and Driving after Revocation.

Community Service:

On Monday, Officers Reed and Martin

provided a presentation on In-house Safety

and Internet Safety to a group of Cub Scouts

at Grace Baptist Church.

Wednesday I took part in the monthly

TRIAD meeting. TRIAD is law enforcement

and seniors coming together to help reduce

criminal victimization of the elderly. This

month's topic was Vulnerable Adult Services

that are offered in Carlton County.

If you have any questions about the information

provided, feel free to contact me at the police

department.

Respectfully Submitted,
