ND: Hunters arrested on felony drug charges

September 9, 2010

BRIEF: Two men arrested on drug charges

Two men were arrested on felony drug charges after one of them received treatment for a hunting injury, according to Dave Orr, Stutsman County sheriff.

Brandon Daniel Wahl, 26, Fargo was treated at Jamestown Hospital for injuries received after a hunting accident east of Buchanan, N.D., Saturday.

The Stutsman County Sheriff's Office typically investigates any report of a hunting accident, said Sgt. Damian Hoyt. Upon investigation and with the help of the drug-sniffing dog from Jamestown Police Department, deputies discovered marijuana, marijuana paraphernalia, Adderall pills and hallucinogenic mushrooms, Hoyt said.

Wahl and Adam Christopher Bryn, 24, Argusville, N.D., were charged with two charges of possession of a controlled substance Class I and possession of a controlled substance Class II, both Class C felonies. They were also charged with possession of a controlled substance (marijuana) and possession of marijuana paraphernalia, both Class A misdemeanors.

A Class C felony is punishable by a maximum penalty of five years in prison and a $5,000 fine. A Class A misdemeanor is punishable by a maximum penalty of one year in prison and a $2,000 fine.
