(KNSI) – Two people have been charged with drug crimes after allegedly getting 10-pounds of methamphetamine through the mail.
In late June, Elk River police and Sherburne County’s Drug Task Force started an investigation after learning a significant amount of meth had been mailed to an Elk River residence and that a woman had taken possession of the package.
Investigators say they conducted surveillance and saw two men pull up to the woman’s home. Officers say one of those men went into the house and was seen leaving with the package. Police conducted a traffic stop and said they found 10 pounds of meth.
Prosecutors have charged 28-year-old Jessica Geraghty of Elk River and 24-year-old Ricardo Jauregui of Osseo with first-degree possession of a controlled substance. Both made their initial court appearances on Tuesday in Sherburne County District Court.
