DETROIT LAKES — Pierre De Wilson, 37, of Detroit Lakes, has been charged in Becker County District Court with felony fifth-degree controlled substance crime, and gross misdemeanor driving after his license was canceled as inimical to public safety.
According to court records, at 3:23 a.m. on Dec. 29, 2022 a deputy on Highland Drive noticed the blue passenger car in front of him had a Norseman Dealership placard, but no 45-day temporary permit in the rear window.
The deputy watched the car try twice to pull into a driveway, having to back up and try again each time.
Wilson, the driver, admitted his license had been canceled. He was arrested, the car was searched, and the deputy found a sandwich bag containing a green leafy substance; a glass smoking device; and a "dugout," a small, portable container for holding and carrying dry herb, on Wilson's person. At the jail, a folded piece of paper containing about 1 gram of meth was found in his wallet.
On Jan. 30, he posted $300 cash bail and was released with conditions. An omnibus hearing is set for Feb. 27 before District Court Judge Michelle Lawson.
