650lbs of Meth Intercepted in Kandiyohi County

WILLMAR — About 650 pounds of methamphetamine found hidden in boxes of flowers was intercepted by law enforcement officers last week who allege that they observed the unloading of the drug shipment from a semitractor-trailer in Willmar.

The West Central Tribune reports two people from the Twin Cities were arrested later that same night outside of Atwater after officers followed them from Willmar.

Twenty-seven-year-old Levelle Lee Anderson of St. Paul and 39-year-old Marysol Rodriguez Lagarda of Minneapolis are both charged with felony first-degree drug sale and first-degree drug possession.

Their next court appearance is set for June 18.
