ST. CLOUD, Minn. — A St. Cloud man is in custody after the Central Minnesota Violent Offender Task Force executed a signed-knock-and-announce search warrant as part of an ongoing investigation into the possession and distribution of controlled substances.

The search warrant was executed on Monday, October 26, at the a house in the 2100 block of 7th Avenue South in St. Cloud.

While executing the warrant, investigators found and seized approximately one kilogram of cocaine, more than 35 pounds of THC products, a large quantity of mushrooms, one-half pound of powdered cocaine, four firearms, and a large amount of forfeited cash.

Haugeto was taken into custody and brought to the Stearns County Jail, where he is held pending court charges.

He is expected to face charges related to first-degree and second-degree possession of controlled substances.
