 A 54-year-old little falls man is charged with four felonies after authorities say they seized a large amount of methamphetamine from his vehicle. Mark Edward Batters is charged with one count of felony first-degree sale of methamphetamine, one count of felony first-degree possession of methamphetamine, and two counts of felony fifth-degree controlled substance possession. Batters was made his first court appearance in Itasca County yesterday. On the morning of September 18th, Grand Rapids police officers received information that Batters was dealing methamphetamine from a room at the Sawmill Inn. Batters was stopped and detained in his vehicle after he checked out of the hotel or the motel. A search warrant was subsequently obtained to search Batters' person, his motel room, and the vehicle he was driving. Over 81 grams of methamphetamine were recovered from Batters' vehicle. The court set bail in the amount of $100,000 without conditions and $50,000 with conditions. Batters is next scheduled to appear in Itasca County District Court for an omnibus hearing on September 25th.
