No charges filed yet in meth bust

Crow Wing County authorities have yet to charge two people arrested in connection with a large methamphetamine bust Aug. 30 in Maple Grove Township.

The drug bust netted law enforcement officials more than a pound of methamphetamine with a street value of more than $100,000 that was believed to have been trafficked from Mexico. Michael William Savage, 38, was charged with felony first-degree sale of a controlled substance and felony first-degree possession of a controlled substance in the case.

A 22-year-old woman and a 42-year-old man also were arrested in connection with the drug bust.

On Wednesday, Crow Wing County Attorney Don Ryan said his office is continuing to review evidence in the case and charges have not yet been filed against the two additional suspects. Ryan declined to comment further on why charges have not been filed.
