That’s according to a news release issued by the Rice County Attorney’s Office. The arrests are the result of a multi-week narcotics investigation involving meth sales conducted by the Cannon River Drug and Violent Offender Task Force. 

On September 27, agents from the team obtained a search warrant for an apartment in Faribault where 42-year-old Ryan Ihde lives. Law enforcement surveyed the residence then moved in once they saw Ihde and two other individuals arrive at the home with several backpacks, the news release says.

The agents seized several packages of suspected meth that were scattered throughout the apartment’s living room. The news release says it appeared the meth was being repackaged for sales.
