A Brainerd woman is charged after investigators say she possessed meth during a traffic stop tied to a drug investigation in Crow Wing County.

The case developed late Jan. 29 into early Jan. 30 after officers received information that a vehicle transporting roughly one-half pound of methamphetamine was expected to travel through the Mille Lacs Band of Ojibwe Reservation.

Prosecutors charged 35-year-old Britney Marie Hagerty with first-degree drug possession. According to a criminal complaint, Mille Lacs Tribal Police received information from the Lakes Area Drug Investigative Division that investigators had developed reliable information about a vehicle transporting a large amount of methamphetamine.
