All of the conduct described herein occurred within the County of St. Louis, State of Minnesota, unless otherwise noted. On December 22, 2025, St Louis County Deputy Wick assisted Deputy Cotrell with responding to a vehicle in the ditch near the intersection of northbound Highway 53 and Three Lake Road in Northland Township, St. Louis County, Minnesota. Upon arrival, Deputy Wick observed a black Chrysler 200, with Minnesota license plate number SCS-749 in the ditch. Deputy Cotrell informed Deputy Wick that the passenger, DARYL LAWRENCE WARWAS, [DOB REDACTED], hereinafter referred to as Defendant, had a felony warrant out of Mille Lacs County Minnesota.

Deputy Wick informed the Defendant of the warrant and placed him under arrest. After placing the Defendant in handcuffs, Deputy Cotrell and Deputy Wick conducted a search. During the search, Deputy Cotrell located a small circular rubber package with duct tape around it in Defendant's left front pocket.
