Grand Forks man accused of possessing methamphetamine, cocaine and marijuana with intent to deliver
Jul. 6—GRAND FORKS — A Grand Forks man appeared in court Wednesday, July 2, after law enforcement searched his impounded vehicle and reported finding a little more than 1.5 pounds of methamphetamine, half a pound of marijuana and .02 pounds of cocaine.
Marcus Shawn Robertson, 42, is charged with Class A felony possession of at least 50 grams of methamphetamine with intent to deliver, Class B felony cocaine possession with intent and Class C felony marijuana possession with intent.
The Class A felony has a maximum 20-year prison sentence.
On Monday, June 30, the Grand Forks Narcotics Task Force assisted the Grand Forks Police Department on a follow-up investigation at the PD’s impound yard, according to a declaration of probable cause summary filed in the case.
A K9 responded on scene and did a free air sniff on a white 2011 Buick Enclave, which had no license plate but was registered to Robertson, the declaration said.
The K9 alerted to the presence of drugs inside the vehicle, so a probable cause search was carried out. Law enforcement alleged they found approximately 743 grams of methamphetamine, 227.5 grams of marijuana and 11.5 grams of cocaine.
Robertson, in custody at the Grand Forks County Correctional Center at that time, was called and confirmed the vehicle was his, as well as all of the property inside it.
During his initial appearance Wednesday morning, July 2, Robertson’s bond was set at $100,000 cash or surety.
His preliminary hearing and/or arraignment are scheduled for 9 a.m. Aug. 11.
