Kandiyohi County gang member arrested in Litchfield drug raid

A confirmed gang member wanted for an outstanding warrant related to drug charges in Kandiyohi County was one of four individuals arrested Tuesday by the CEE-VI Drug and Gang Task Force after a search warrant was executed at a residence in Litchfield.

While Task Force Agents were making entry into the residence, two suspects jumped out of a second story window and attempted to flee on foot. Both individuals were apprehended a short distance away from the residence.

The search of the residence yielded approximately 5 ounces of methamphetamine, marijuana, BHO and fake oxycodone pills that tested positive for the presence of fentanyl.

The two remaining parties that hadn’t fled the residence were also arrested. All four of the individuals are being held in the Meeker County Jail on controlled substance charges.
