On April 20, 2013, Cook County Sheriff ’s Deputy Greg Gentz responded to a request for assistance from U.S. Customs and Border Patrol. CBP reported that two individuals had been apprehended and found to be in possession of felony amounts of controlled substance at the U.S. Port of Entry in Grand Portage.
CBP had stopped and conducted a search of a Honda Civic belonging to Michael Robinson, 25, Saint Lazare, Quebec, and discovered approximately 25 grams of hashish (a resinous form of marijuana), in a shaving kit and 5 grams of marijuana rolled into a tent claimed by Robinson.
His passenger, Magnolia Ouimet- Dyke, 20, Brownsburg-Chatham, Quebec, was found to be in possession of 7.5 grams of hallucinogenic psilocybin mushrooms rolled into a tent and 70 grams marijuana packaged in separate baggies in the tent bag, which she claimed. Ouimet-Dyke was also found to be in possession of eight Flexeril prescription pills in her makeup bag for which she did not have a prescription, rolling papers and one “grinder” device used for breaking up smokeable controlled substances.
Robinson and Ouimet-Dyke were transported to the Cook County Law Enforcement Center to be incarcerated until their court appearances on April 22.
Robinson was charged with possession of a controlled substance in the fifth degree, possession of over 1.4 grams of marijuana in a motor vehicle and possession of a small amount of marijuana.
Robinson has retained David C. Keegan to represent him and will have his next court appearance on June 19, 2013. He was released on $10,000 bail.
Ouimet-Dyke was charged with three counts of possession of a controlled substance and one count of possession of drug paraphernalia. She pled guilty to possession of a controlled substance in the fifth degree. The other two counts of drug possession and paraphernalia were dismissed.
