Adam Dale Feltus, 31, Duluth, was convicted February 12, 2014 of possession of a controlled substance and committed to the Minnesota correctional facility at St. Cloud for 24 months, with credit for 100 days time served.
Feltus was arrested on November 5, 2013 after Cook County Law Enforcement received a call from probation officers who had found drugs at a Grand Marais home. When a sheriff deputy arrived, the probation officer showed him a small metal container on a lanyard that had been found on Joshua David Hutchins, 28, of Duluth. The container held what appeared to be methamphetamine.
According to the law enforcement report, on a table in front of Feltus, the deputy found a glass pipe with residue that smelled like marijuana. In a patdown, the deputy discovered a plastic bag with $1,100 in cash, a small tin containing a short plastic straw and several small plastic bindles containing a white powdery substance in Feltus’s pants.
The large rock of suspected methamphetamine tested positive for methamphetamine and was found to weigh 4.8 grams.
Feltus claimed the rock of methamphetamine and the marijuana pipe as his. Witnesses interviewed by sheriff deputies said Feltus had arrived in Grand Marais the night before and had sold methamphetamine to several individuals.
Feltus was charged with four drug counts, sale of a controlled substance in the third degree, possession of cocaine/ heroin/methamphetamine in the third degree, sale of a schedule I, II or III controlled substance in the fourth degree and controlled substance crime in the fourth degree. The first three counts were dismissed.
Hutchins was also arrested for violating probation and he was subsequently charged with possession of cocaine/ heroin/methamphetamine in the third degree. His sentencing hearing is scheduled for April 15, 2014.
