A subsequent search by the Arnolds Park Police Department’s K-9 Unit turned up additional amounts of the substance in the truck amounting to about 28 grams.
Patten was then charged with possession of methamphetamine with intent to deliver, drug tax stamp violation, possession of drug paraphernalia, open container of alcohol and for not wearing a seatbelt.
The Lake Park Police Department was assisted by the Arnolds Park Police Department and the Dickinson County Sheriff’s Office.
