A search of a vehicle police said was used by the suspects yielded a container that contained methamphetamine, suspected marijuana, a suspected methamphetamine pipe, 10-gram weights and small plastic bags containing white residue, according to the complaint. Police also confiscated two yellow pills inside a purse that later were confirmed to contain Clonazepam, a controlled substance. The Pine to Prairie Drug Task Force and East Grand Forks Police Department cooperated on the case, according to the report. Halldorson and Sackett remained in Northwest Regional Correctional Center in Crookston Thursday. Their next court appearances are scheduled at 9 a.m. Tuesday. At least one other suspect was arrested in connection with the incident, though the suspect had not been formally charged as of Thursday afternoon, according to East Grand Forks Police Lt. Rod Hajicek. Second-degree felony sale of a controlled substance is punishable by 3 to 40 years in prison and up to a $500,000 fine. A conviction for third-degree sale is subject to 2 to 30 years in prison and up to a $250,000 fine.CROOKSTON-Bail has been set for two Grand Forks residents charged in connection with illegal drug sales near an East Grand Forks park earlier this week.
