DETROIT LAKES — Justin Robert Marlen, 37, of rural Detroit Lakes has been charged in Becker County District Court with felony fifth-degree controlled substance crime.
According to court records, on Feb. 10, he was pulled over by a Detroit Lakes police officer for driving with a revoked license.
Numerous torch-style lighters were in plain view, which are commonly used to smoke narcotics. A passenger in the vehicle was arrested on an active warrant, and a search of the vehicle turned up a plastic vial containing 4.12 grams (with packaging) of field-positive meth, located between the driver’s door and seat.
On May 2 a summons was issued for him to appear in court.
On June 27, cash bail for Marlen was set at zero, under standard conditions of release, or $10,000 bond with no conditions.
