 After a traffic stop Friday, two Bemidji people were charged with first degree controlled substance crimes after they were allegedly caught with 61 grams of meth. According to the criminal complaint, 23 year old Rice Dean Weiss faces additional charges because he was also found in possession of a firearm. 23 year old Beth Marie Rorick is charged with first degree possession of cocaine or methamphetamine. The criminal complaint says that a Bemidji police officer pulled over their vehicle after noticing it did not have license plate lights. The officer spoke with Weiss who had a felony warrants out for his arrest and noticed a handgun case in the back seat of the car. After detaining Weiss, the officer discovered a revolver in the handgun case that had been stolen from a Texas residence. The complaint states that Rorick was asked to step out of the vehicle and while doing so, her purse opened and the officer saw a large baggie that tested positive for methamphetamine. Court appearances for Weiss and Rorick have not yet been scheduled. If you've enjoyed this segment of Lakeland News please consider making a tax deductible contribution to Lakeland Public Television.
