The owner of a Shakopee towing company has been charged with first-degree drug possession and being a felon in possession of ammunition after agents found about 2.5 ounces of methamphetamine inside his business, court documents say.
Aaron George Judish, 52, of Shakopee, faces charges in connection with a March 25 search of PRS Towing in Shakopee. He is being held at the Scott County Jail.
The investigation began in January 2026 when the Southwest Metro Drug Task Force received a tip that Judish was selling drugs from the business. Investigators also learned Judish had been paying his employees with methamphetamine instead of money.

Agents conducted surveillance and confirmed the information before applying for a search warrant. The warrant was prompted in part by information that Judish's girlfriend, who had several outstanding felony warrants, was living with him at the business.
On March 25, agents executed the search warrant at PRS Towing. Judish and two employees left the building, the court documents say. While searching the business, agents found white residue, a straw and a rifle bullet, prompting them to freeze the scene and obtain a second warrant to search for drugs, ammunition and firearms.
In an upstairs bedroom area that Judish used as both an office and living quarters, agents found methamphetamine in a Tupperware container in a desk drawer, several bags of suspected meth in a zippered bag under the desk and more methamphetamine in a magnetic case on the desktop. A 7.62-caliber bullet was found on the same desk. Small baggies and scales consistent with drug sales were also in the room, along with mail bearing Judish's name.

The suspected meth field-tested positive and the total combined weight was 71.7 grams, or about 2.5 ounces.
After being read his rights, Judish initially denied the drugs were his. He told agents the methamphetamine belonged to his girlfriend, who he said had left for treatment earlier that morning. He said the bullet probably fell out of a vehicle during cleaning.
When an agent told Judish he had been under investigation for drug activity at the business, Judish changed his story.
"It's all mine," he told agents. "I'm not going to throw anyone else under the bus."
Judish said none of his employees were involved and took full responsibility, telling agents the magnetic case was his and that he uses drugs. He also claimed the bullet, saying he didn't know anything about it but that it was his.
Judish co-owns PRS Towing with two other people. He told agents the business operates 24 hours a day and that he primarily lives in the upstairs bedroom rather than at his parents' house.
