WORTHINGTON — A 35-year-old Jackson man faces five felony counts in Nobles County Fifth District Court following a Sept. 30 arrest in the city of Worthington.
Logan Joseph Stammer is charged with a firearms violation as a felon previously convicted for a crime of violence, possession of ammunition or any firearm, first degree drug sale, first degree drug possession and fifth degree drug possession.
According to the criminal complaint, Stammer was seen exiting his car in the parking lot of an Oxford Street business by a patrol officer, who then stopped to speak with the defendant.
