Alexander Michael Lafave

On May 26, 2026 officers from the Cloquet Police Department responded to a residential address on 16th Street in Cloquet. Officers were looking for a person who had multiple active arrest warrants and had information that he was staying at the residence. Officers approached and saw a male and a female in the driveway reaching into a Nissan Versa with VA plate TAA1909. Officers attached the vehicle to the call. Officers approached to see if the male was the party with the warrant and made contact with Sarah Elizabeth May Lone [DOB REDACTED], and the male party, identified as Alexander Michael LaFave [DOB REDACTED], hereinafter Defendant.

Officers spoke with Lone and LaFave as well as a male leaning out a second story window about the male party they were looking for. As the officers were speaking with the parties they learned from dispatch that the vehicle was reported stolen out of Dane County, Wisconsin. Lone was detained and officers spoke with LaFave who was discovered to have a warrant as well and taken into custody. Lone got the officer’s attention and said that LaFave had nothing to do with it. Officers confirmed that the VIN on the vehicle matched the reported stolen vehicle.

Officers called for a tow and inventoried the vehicle. During the course of the inventory a significant amount of suspected Fentanyl was located in the vehicle and associated with Lone. Officers also searched a sling bag associated with LaFave containing his phone as well as a metal tin containing a tinfoil bindle. Officers field tested a substance in the bindle which teted positive for the presence of Fentanyl with a field weight of.45 grams.
