Michael Stewart Adams

On November 29, 2025, officers with the Blaine Police Department saw a vehicle with MN license plate [PLATE REDACTED] occupied by a male and female, pull into the parking lot near their unmarked squad and stay in the vehicle for a period of time before exiting. Officers saw the male load up a bag of clothes from the vehicle before entering a store. Officers spoke to the store owner, who stated the male was trying to sell clothes to the store and provided the name of Michael Adams along with a phone number.

Officers were able to match the description to a Michael Stewart Adams, [DOB REDACTED] (AKA, Michael Stuart Adams), Defendant herein, in the system. Officers ran checks and learned Defendant had a revoked license status. Defendant is the owner of the Vehicle. After observing the Defendant drive away, Officers stopped the vehicle at Lexington Avenue NE over 35W, city of Blaine, Anoka County, Minnesota for driving with a revoked license and a non‐operating rear license plate light. While speaking with the Defendant officers saw a torch‐style lighter near the middle console, and a clear tube consistent with drug paraphernalia in the backseat, with white powder residue inside.

Officers had the occupants exit the vehicle and the Defendant immediately locked the vehicle upon exiting. Based on this, a K9 was ordered to the location as officers suspected drugs were inside the vehicle. The K9 unit arrived and alerted on the vehicle. During a search of the vehicle officers located in the middle console, three small ziplock baggies that contained a crystal‐like substance inside a clear tupperware container as well as the clear tube with the white residue connected to a glass bong‐style meth pipe.

The Midwest Regional Forensic Laboratory later confirmed the substance from the three baggies contained a total of 9.236 grams of methamphetamine, a schedule‐II controlled substance.
