WINDOM -- Charges were filed Thursday against a Windom woman who allegedly sold meth to a confidential informant in a school zone.
Tanaya Marie Renquist, 21, of Windom, is charged with a second-degree controlled substance crime in a school zone, a count which carries a maximum penalty of 25 years incarceration and/or a $50,000 fine.
The criminal complaint states on April 26 a Windom police officer received a call from a confidential informant (CI) who had arranged to purchase 1.75 grams of ice methamphetamine from Renquist for $200.
Authorities followed the CI to Perkins Creek Apartments, across the street from the Windom Area High School. Through the listening device on the CI, officers heard the CI talk with a female inside the apartment.
The officers met the CI at a prearranged location, and the CI handed an officer a gum package that contained a small baggie with a white crystal substance inside.
