On February 7, 2026, an officer with the Blaine Police Department observed a vehicle traveling on Hwy 10 at Polk St NE in Blaine, Anoka County. The vehicle had tinted windows such that the occupants could not be observed. A traffic stop was initiated and contact made with the driver, identified as J. B. An unidentified male passenger was observed in the front passenger seat, and a female later identified as CHELSIE KAYE ANDERSON [DOB REDACTED], "Defendant" herein, was in the backseat. Law enforcement tested the window tint and found the Visible Light Transmission was 12%, well below the legal 50% requirement.
The male passenger was observed to have sunken cheeks and heavy pock marks on his face, known by law enforcement to be indicative of long-term narcotics usage. J. B. Was hesitant to provide answers to basic questions and was unable to provide proof of insurance. Law enforcement observed that Defendant was not wearing her seat belt and she was asked to provide her identification. Defendant opened a purse that contained multiple wallets and zippered bags and began to look for her ID, but in doing so would only open the bags so she could insert her fingers in it and was not able to see in.
Law enforcement interpreted these actions as an attempt to hide contraband from their view. Law enforcement also observed that Defendant had multiple signs of long-term narcotic use including sunken cheeks, droopy eyelids, and blisters on her lips. Defendant was asked when she last used and stated she had used yesterday. Defendant was asked how much meth was in the car and said, "I don't have anything" and "I'm not doing anything." Defendant gave law enforcement a soft glasses case and said whatever meth she had was in there.
Defendant consented to a search of the container and a glass bubble pipe and a broken glass pipe with white residue were observed. Based on their observations, law enforcement requested a K9 to the scene. The K9 alerted to the vehicle which was subsequently searched. In the backseat, located directly next to where Defendant was seated, was a blue backpack containing multiple green Crown Royal bags with suspected psilocybin mushrooms, 5 Alprazolam pills, a plastic baggie with 12 suboxone films with no prescription, 9 gummies of an unknown substance, baggies with white crystal residue, and a scale.
In a brown purse also located in the back seat, multiple additional green Crown Royal bags were found along with a gallon sized ziploc bag containing a white crystal substance, a quart sized Ziploc bag with a white crystal substance, a small plastic baggie with a white crystal substance, an orange pill bottle bearing Defendant's name and a prescription for Venlafaxine HCL, a pill divider with multiple different types of pills, and numerous items of paraphernalia. The suspected narcotics were tested by the Midwest Regional Forensic Laboratory and found to be 5.264 grams containing psilocyn and cocaine, 2.104 grams of psilocyn, and a total of 14.52 grams of methamphetamine.
